33cl bottle in Cloisters, Edinburgh. The appearance is thick opaque and black with a cappuccino head. The nose is of milk chocolate and this is backed up by more of the same on the taste. The palate is powerful but a bit clumsy. Overall, a good beer but it was 2nd best to the Orkney Porter on the night.
