A complex stout with rich malt flavours of fresh espresso, and dark chocolate. Loaded with bourbon flavour from the wood, adding notes of warming vanilla and toasted oak, which combine with the caramel malt for a smoky, bittersweet cinder toffee character. Finishes with a touch of light, dry smokiness, and a light body from the use of Belgian yeast.

Can. Black body with a beige head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of woody malt and coffee. Flavour of blueberry, copper and milk chocolate. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. An interesting, tasty beer. Very impressive for the ABV.

Dark brown with a good, beige or tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, nuts, coffee, and a hint of sweet toffee. The taste is dry, with a roasted bitterness, tart, slightly sour, and metallic. Light body, medium carbonation. The aroma was okay, but significantly different from the taste.

330ml can via Beer52, drank at home late on 5th June 2025. Black bodied, beige crown. Didn't even notice it was only 3.4% ABV, which is a good thing. Malty, woody, earthy and yet semi sweet also, decent all round.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy black pour with a loose cocoa coloured head; floral aroma with some blackcurrant and licorice; milky body with an immediate herbal bitterness and some dark fruit; then a tarry finish. An interesting flavourful porter, particularly given the ABV.

330ml can. Dark brown with good beige to tanned foamy head. Aroma of sweet toffee, dark malt, hay, black pepper, touch of vanilla. It starts tangy and moderately sweet and finishes bitter with a grainy dryness. Not exactly intense in flavour but the ABV will mostly account for that. The elements I picked up in the aroma do come though with a note of blackcurrant and are balanced and tasty. Its very good for the ABV.

5/3/2025. Can bought at Beer Hatch, Norwich. Drank from the can on the train home to Ipswich. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, nut, coffee, vanilla, marshmallow. Taste is unpleasant roasted bitterness, tangy, slightly tart/sour, tinny. Moderate body, watery, average carbonation. Aroma was okay but didn’t like the taste very much.
