Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. Poured a deep dark brown, near enough black really. Not much of a head to speak of. Malty,chocolate orange aroma. Soft mouthfeel. Sweet, roasted malt flavour with good fruit notes. Dryish finish. A tidy porter for sure.

[500ml bottle - gift from Mum] Shared with Jim. Tastes strongly of black coffee, also a lot of plain chocolate and some tar. Bit of sharp fruit - maybe damsons? Heady - you really get the high alcohol content coming through. Far, far too bitter though, to the point of unpleasantness in the aftertaste. More sweetness would bring the flavours out better. Disappointing after a promising start.

500 ml bottle, bought in Scarborough. ABV is 6.5%. Black coloured beer, ruby in the highlights. Large to moderate tan head. Pleasant roasty and vinous aroma with notes of chocolate, coffee and claret. Full and rich moutheel. The flavour abounds with chocolate, also coffee and roasted barley. Excellent beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, dark brown - almost opaque - with an orange hue and a creamy, beige head that leaves a neat lacework. Soft and very pleasant aroma of roasted malt. Good, full body, lightly sweet roasted malts and a slightly burned edge. Distinct notes of licorice. Has some malt bitterness in the finish. A lovely Porter. 280207
