Bottled. Dark brown with lace. Almost flat. Lightly oxidized nose with caramel, chocolate, coffee. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, must, wood. Decent. Somewhat flat, and probably too old, but enjoyable.

(Cask at Gallows Bird Real Ale Festival ’13) The beer poured very dark brown and clear. Its head was small and light brown. Aroma had roasted malts and white coffee. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, burnt malts, white coffee, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt, ashy and bitter. A well-balanced porter with harsh aftertaste.

Cask @ Gallows Bird Real Ale Festival 2013

Pours pitch black with a tiny head. Aroma of roasty malts, nuts and hints of chocolate. Taste is roasty with notes of nutty malts. Finish is nutty and roasty with some dark chocolate notes. Okay, quite basic but tasty porter.

Dark roasted malt aroma. Quite a rich, oily feel. Flavour is quite dry with a bit of cork. Also roasted malts and some bitter chocolate in the background.
