Newcastle Coffee Porter

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 11/11/09. Deep brown with a slight tan head. Roasty aroma with some milk chocolate. Flavour was malty, with more roastiness and some sweet dark fruits, leading to a dry finish. I couldn’t detect coffee either, but it was pleasant enough.
