Malt, dark chocolate and a hint of woodsmoke underpin a gathering and lasting medium bitter finish.

Cask at the Wallington and Croydon BF, London. Pours dark brown with a medium, beige head. Looks good! Chocolatey, dark malt nose. Medium sweet flavor, some brownies and rich bread. Medium in body with fine carbonation. Modest roasted malt finish, roasty dough, light leaves for bitterness. Very nice.

Gravity at the Grape and Grain Spring Beer Festival 2011. It pours a very dark brown to black colour with a thin beige head and soft carbonation. The nose is caramel, toffee, rich-roast coffee and liquorice. The taste is caramel, charcoal, ash, coffee, smokey, aniseed and nut with a moderate lasting dry finish. Above average porter.

Cask (Egham Beer Festival - Summer 2010) - Very dark brown in colour. Chocolatey aroma with roasted malt. Chocolatey taste. Fairly rich for its strength, but nice enough.
