Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. The perfect porter look - pitch black in colour with a thin tan head; aroma of chocolate malt with a tocuh of licorice; Silky chocolate malt taste and feel in the mouth, with some soft fruit, licorice, coffee and smoke mingling in; the finish is dry with a good underlying bitterness. All-in-all an excellent porter.

Cask at the Harp. Pours brown with a medium, off-white head. Dark, roasted malt nose. Bittersweet flavor with plenty of roast, char and tobacco. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Finishes with more tobacco and charred wood, fairly dry. Good stuff.

500ml Bottle - Very dark brown, almost black, with some red tinges. Coffee aroma and roasted malt. Smooth tasting with coffee and some nice roasted malt notes with coffee and a hint of chocolate lingering in the finish. Very nice.

Cask gravity at SIBA BF, Paddock Wood. Bottled and taken home. The sip I had before I bottled it was good, so I was hoping it would stand up to the travel home. Black, lots of choc on aroma. Good drying charcoal as well. Yes, it’s lost some condition, but still got a lot of choc and charcoal. Lots of smokey choc. The dark bitter choc is excellent.
