Damsons have been added to give a full bodied fruitiness to the rich, complex flavours provided by the Pale, Brown & Black malts. Aroma is bitter with caramel malty tones. Flavour is malty, slightly fruity with a bitter finish.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours dark brown, small beige head, Aroma of roasted malts, biscuit, toffee, light coffee, some vague fruitiness. Taste starts with an initial under-ripe plum sourness which must be the damsons (never had one!), roasted malts, some toffee and coffee, fruitiness comes back in at end with a light bitterness but its not an overly sweet beer so its balanced. Its quite a pleasant if simple porter.

500ml bottle, 5.0 % abv, bought at The Real Ale Store in Newark. Shared with Finn. Remaining off-white head, near-black in the glass, good lacing. Roasted bread on the nose, mid-sweet, inviting. Malt-driven flavours of dark bread, toffee, and a backdrop of dark fruits. Nicely roasted tail. Like it. (Hotel room, Nottingham 14.10.2022).

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a large billowing head of large long lived bubbles. Chocolate biscuit, plum, toast, coffee, sour cherry. Little over carbonated so feels a touch thin. Decent.

1/12/2018. Bottle from the 8 Sail Brewery Shop and shared at the 1st Kesgrave 50/50 bottle share. Pours dark brown with a large beige head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and plumy/jammy dark fruits. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and a hint of tartness. Moderate body, slight watery texture, above average carbonation. Light plum finish. Too fizzy, otherwise pretty decent.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - close to opaque black but with some orange chinks. Nose - dusty malt bag. Then fudge or toffee. Taste - molasses and blackjack sweets. Palate - medium bodied, rich and sweet texture. Dry crunchy finish. Overall - the taste was better than the nose. Did not get any damson.
