Aged sample, as The Village Shop Dunster Dark Porter Huge, dense, dark beige head, virtually black beer with some reddish highlights. Typical sweetish, very burnt stout nose, rainwater. Smokey, ashy flavour. Faint liquorice, japwater , dark roasted malts with melanoidins; finish has still some restsugars. Gristslick, seems better bodied than it really is. Medium carbonation at best. Decent, certainly for its ABV (and age). Thanks to Stef!

2/3/2019. Bottle bought at St. Ives Beer Festival. Pours very dark brown with a frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, lactose, roasted malt, dark fruit and hint of liquorice. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, over-carbonated for style. Not bad apart from that.

19/1/2019. Bottle from St. Ives Beer Festival shared at the 2nd Kesgrave 50/50. Pours clear golden with a large white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, grass and straw. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight watery and oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Sweet fruity, grassy finish - not bad, but spoilt a bit by level of carbonation.

Pours like liquid mud, no head, foggy brown. Soft sweet barley aroma. Flavour is subdued spiced barley with maybe a hint of coriander. Watery mouthfeel. Rather unexciting but might be nice as a inoffensive pint.
