A powerful black ale and the most London of all beers. This one is made the way Porters were made 100 years ago.

Cask @ William IV. Black body with a small beige head. Aroma of dark, roasted malt and coffee. Flavor is moderate roasted malt, fruity, some liquorices, hint of coffe and decent bitter, but there is also some annoying sourness that’s not any good. Medium to medium plus body. Roasted aftertaste with some bitterness, but again this annoying sourness. Drinkable but not balanced and probably not meant to be like this. Still a lot of potensial, must go back an re-rate.

RBESG August 2011, King William IV. Black with a small off-white head. The aroma has lots of dark fruits, plums and prunes, some toffee, vanilla and mild spices. Sweet malty flavour with licorice and dark fruits, and a slightly burnt finish

Cask@GBBF2011. Very deep amber colour, close to black, small beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, wood and some slight notes of berries and ashes. Flavour is wood, mild roasted notes as well as some liquorice. Pleasantly balanced.

One-third pint, cask 7.8% abv, at the Nightingale Bar, Great British Beer Festival ’11. Spotty lace to the glass, film-like head and a body that is black as pitch. Smell of liquorice and dark roasted malts. Cocoa powder along with bready malts in flavour partially offset by bitter dark fruits. Roasted bitterness towards a lingering ending. Well made porter that is relatively easy to drink (London, 03.08.2011).

Cask at GBBF 2011. A black coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Nice malty, roasty aroma. Tastes malty, roasty, chocolate, coffee. Really smooth and easy to drink. Very nice porter indeed.

Pigs Ear. Opaque black beer. Light semi dry palate. Very modest carbonation. Subtle dark fruits. Tangy like a good porter should be! Finishes with a little red fruit in the undertone. Nice!

Gravity at the Rake. It pours darkest brown with limited carbonation and no head. The nose is boiled sweets, charcoal, vanilla, caramel and varnish. The taste is charcoal, rich-roast coffee, varnish, caramel, toffee, fig, date, herbs and cough-medicine, with a bitter-dry finish. The alcohol is well hidden and the mouth-feel is really smooth. A high-quality strong porter.

(Cask at Southampton Arms) This one I would call a proper porter. Beer was pitch black. Clearly roasty aroma and flavour. I found some coffee and chocolate, too, and quite likely they were result of roasting and not added afterward. Afterstaste was quite malty. Nice balanced brew that was a real enjoyment to drink.
