Bottle, Ship in a Bottle, West Kirby. Deep dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Choc, malt and coffee notes emerged from the beak. The flavour revaled subtle orange hints alongside more choc and roast. A little bitterness lurking. Smooth and pleasant to drink. I’m a sucker for anything orangey and this a tasty and tidy porter.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A pitch black pour with a ring of beige head; chocolate malt aroma; immediately dry in the mouth with a lactic body, chocolate taste and just a trace on orange; then a smooth dry finish with lingering milky chocoalte. Slightly disappointing, I was hoping for more of a lift from the oranges.
