Beast is a full-bodied dark porter. It’s dark mahogany-brown in colour, with a hint of crimson. Rich aromas of toffee, treacle, Mocha coffee, vinous fruit, and chocolate. There’s more complexity on the palate with fruitcake, a hint of rum, more Mocha coffee, herbal hoppiness, vinous fruit, and a bittersweet finish that’s smooth yet complex, rich but not cloying.
Hops: Goldings, Challenger and First Gold. Brewed with a mix of pale ale, chocolate and crystal malts.

Nearly opaque very dark beer with a decent beige head. Light scent of fruity, toasted malt. Taste follows suit, with the balance nicely done between the sweetness of the fruit and nice, toasty malt. A bit of liquorice too. Not massively complex and suffers from a slightly watery aftertaste / feel but otherwise it's a fairly straightforward beer done pretty well.

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Layton Rakes (JDW) in Blackpool. A ruby glint to a near black body. Beige head, upper part glass-lacing. Moderate smell of earthy malts, hints of dried fruits. Mid-sweet dark malty flavours, caramel and dried fruits. Smooth malt-driven end. Half way pleasing. (07.022019).

Cask @ Cricketers Arms, Eastleigh. Clear amber body with a thin off-white film of foam. Quite mild aroma of caramel malt and dry fruit. Flavor is soft, smooth caramel malt, light roast, dry fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and aftertaste. Smooth and soft but not very exciting and quite light roasted for a porter, still quite nice in a subtle way.
