A beautifully balanced porter, which starts with an espresso nose and ends with a chocolate, malt led finish. A house favourite at 6% ABV, and one to recommend to stout and porter drinkers, as well as coffee drinkers.

Bottle from BeerHive, Edinburgh [191113]
Pitch black with a very thin tan head, little lacing
Aroma - Roasted coffee grounds, roasted malts, some burnt toast
Taste - Dark chocolate, roast coffee, dark caramel malts, dark malts hint of dark berry fruit, no hint of alcohol.
Palate - Very soft carb, fairly thin body but richer on the finish. Finish - smooth quite creamy dark malts, dark plain chocolate that quite prominent in the tail
Overall - Some good smooth dark malts here but a little thin. Flavour better than the aroma.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Black body with a thin off-white head that gradually fades. Faint lacing. Aroma of coffee, berries and roasted malt. Flavour of brambles, wood and coffee. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A fruity Porter.
