Bottle at GBBF. It pours black, with a thick light tan head. The nose is caramel, toasted sesame seed, coffee, leather, xmas pudding, smoke and liquorice. The taste is charcoal, cherry, toasted sesame seed, well-hidden alcohol, lactose, milk chocolate, liquorice and roasted malt. It has a medium body and moderate carbonation. A very drinkable strong porter, good effort!
