On tap at The Black Sheep, pours a dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small beige head. Nose brings out English bready malt and a tiny touch of espresso. Flavour is along the same lines, with bready malt, toffee and light dry cocoa. Very English. Well-balanced and drinkable. Good stuff.

Nose is light roast, earthy cocoa, toffee, light spice. Taste comprises earthy cocoa powder, brown bread notes, light roast, mineral pangs, faint hoppy backnotes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light roast finale with a drying element. Ok porter.

Craig on Heat Tasting at ChrisO’s. Hazy deep red - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and airy, mild fine carbonation. Airy malts, very mild dark character, trace of tangy coffee. Light dry and bitter finish. A bit dull but inoffensive.
