Draught. Third pint measured glass on a sample tray at Porterhouse, Covent Garden London. Creamy, off-white head on top of a black body with some ruby highlights. Great laceworks on the glass. Smell of roasted grain. The taste is bitter with salty hints, but also some brief notes of sweetness can be spotted. Silky, but a bit thin, mouthfeel. Well made brew (05.08.2008).
