Keg @ Canalhouse, Notts. Pours opaque black with beige head in a badly washed glass. Ferrero Rocher aroma, deliciously subtle chocolate and hazlenuts, roasted malts, rich silky smooth character. Lovely stuff.

Micro train tasting with Colin on the way to Siren. Opaque black - brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry. Milf fine carbonation. Mild dark malts, no roast or bitterness. Mild dark chocolate. Generic nuts, slightly bitter. Light dry finish. Really not the sweet beer I was expecting, in fact it leaves a mild bitter aftertaste.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours black with a slight tan head. Aroma seems citrus and stone fruit. Med +body. Flavor is lightly chocolate malt with lots of citrus. Maybe some resin creeping in. Maybe some dark treacle. Finishes slightly sweet chocolate and citrus bitter. Well balanced. Delicious.

From a 650ml bottle on 27/7/2014 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a deep brown with a medium head. Has a pleasant light chocolatey, nutty aroma. The flavour is more pronounced with lots of cappuccino, milk chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla, with a light roasty bitterness at the end. Has a very creamy palate and moderate carbonation. This is a very tasty, quite distinctive porter.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is fairly hot, with notes of alcohol, caramel malt and a little candied sugar. Flavour brings out candied sugar and alcohol, followed by dark fruits and toffee. Quite hot, but well-balanced, finishing on notes of alcohol and sugar. Nicely balanced, though quite hot. Good stuff.

Very beautiful nose of coffee and chocolate. Slight sweetness from the hazelnut. Near black with garnet highlights and full brown head. Taste is overt roast with moderate low chocolate and mocha. Moderate bitterness - a little lower than expected.

Keg @ Port Street Beer House. Pours extremely dark brown with beige head. Very flavoursome chewy chocolate / toffee desert flavours, roasted malts and a touch of dark fruits. Very nice.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours pale gold with a thick white head. Aromas are grapefruit, citrus, big resinous hops. Taste brings more bitternesss and a light touch of caramel at the back. Quite a thin body, bitter finish. Very nice.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas are pine and resin, bit skunky almost. Taste brings some malt sweetness, citrus bitterness. Medium body, bitter finish. Not bad.

Hazy deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and crispy. Light smooth malts. with thin cream a nice mellow dark toffee streak. Develops more light cream. Hops are a nice mix of pine, very mild skunk and light ripe orange. Touch of marmalade. Mild bitterness before a smooth semi dry finish. Comes together well. Very drinkable.
