275ml bottle from HoTM. It pours pretty much opaque black with a thick deep tan head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, big umami character, toasted sesame seeds, liquorice, rich roasted malt, cacao, jammy berry, blackcurrant compote, port and Victoria sponge. The taste is dry, rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, charred, liquorice, tar, bitter - sweet, very jammy, plum pudding, berry action, blackberry, blackcurrant, Victorian sponge cake, port, peppery spice, earth and warming alcohol with a bitter roast fruit compote finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. I really like the balance to it. The port brings a nice jammy element to the base beer. Moreish.

Bottle at home from am online seller. Pours black with a dirty tan head that fades to lacing. Aroma is chocolate, liquorice, leather, wood, port notes, dried fruit. Taste is jammy fruits, leather, chocolate, dried fruit, port notes on the finish. Quite sharp with the fruit so loses some of the character. Decent.
