Bottle at Craig's. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of light tar, treacle, faint roast. Taste is leather, prune, faint oxidation, but in a good way. Long finish. Nice.

Tap at Hanging Bat. Smells and tastes like white bread crust, but fruity. Interesting notes I made on this one. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brown Porter on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:03 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Bottle. Aroma is sweet, Stille Nacht style. Dark fruity, boozy. Taste is good. Malty, sweet booziness, nice. Lost a bit as it warmed though. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Cornelius Wines Damn Dirty Ape on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Bottle. Pours opaque black, small brown head, dissipates fairly quickly, bubbly lacing. Aroma is hugely roasty, anise, molasses, heavy molasses, cocoa. Fully sweet, light plus bitter. Full body, creamy with low carbonation. Pretty interesting and intense beer.
