Bottle online from 'The Trembling Madness'. Label says Festive Christmas Porter 4.5%. Pours a very very dark brown almost black colour with no head. Aromas of roasted malts, caramel, chocolate and a hint of liquorice. Taste has more caramel coffee and a big roasty bitterness on the finish. Thin watery body, low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. The taste is ok but the beer is lifeless and has no condition whatsoever.

Bottle from beersofeurope. A thin and rather sour porter that probably would turn santa off.
