Nose is heavy ash, undercut of sweet malts. Little head and little carbination. Taste is not as smokey as the nose would imply, hints of coffee, touch of chocolate. Palate has a nice oily texture. A good example of a porter. Very enjoyable

Bottle from Microbar, Manchester Extremely dark with hints of chocolate and coffee in the nose. Has a sweet roasted malt taste but not the nicest aftertaste. Fairly heavy drinking.

Sunny, late afternoon in my back garden, decided to review a beer rather than tidy up: this beer is the choosen one! Brown 500ml bottle (bottle conditioned), best before Aug 2011, poured into my Abbot Ale Tankard on 2nd June 2011. Came out in a hurry, didn’t get the glass to it before the lovely tan coloured head began to gush out. Been in the cooloing fridge for about two weeks, not sure why the beer wasn’t stable. Once settled the beer looked great in the sunshine, a reddy brown colour, dark and interesting, the head strong, firm and made up of large bubbles. Roasted malts and burnt brown bread were the two main smells I found, woody nutty notes were there too. The taste followed the nose, malty, slightly burnt feel and those nutty trees again. Well carbonated, as the gushing head proved and very drinkable. Sediment came up with the beer, but it didn’t ruin the flavours or mouthfeel, most likely enhanced it to be honest. Full flavoured and the sort of English Porter you could drink a few of in one session.

Roasted malt aroma and a nice smokiness too. Thick, oily texture. Flavour has roasted malts, a touch of smoke and coffee.

Cask at NWAF, 2012. Dark reddish-brown pour with a beige head. Smoky-coffee nose with hints of licorice and brown sugar. Dark roast coffee infusion in the taste with hints of caramel, treacle and vanilla. Very flavoursome. Dry, malty finish. Lovely stuff!

Bottle from Carringtons, Chorlton (no wheelies). Dark reddish tinged brown pour with a fast fading tan head. Roasted malt, dark choc and coffee notes present in the nose and a similar yarn flavour wise. Bitter finish. Pre-teeee good.

(Cask at Angel, Manchester, 25 July 2009) Dark brown colour with ruby hints. Brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, caramel and some coffee. Malty, slightly fruity taste with dark fruit, dried figs, raisins, roasted grain, chocolate and a bittersweet finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Very nice porter with a slightly fruity touch.
