13/3/2021. Bottle shared at the Ben Burrows memorial virtual bottle share. From Beers of Europe. Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, blueberry. Moderate sweetness, light roasted bitterness, light sour. Medium body, soft carbonation. Dry and slightly sour finish. Nice aroma but fell away.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing. Bottle looks interesting. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Soapy hoppy aroma. Starts dry malty, more and more sourish-hoppy, unbalanced bitter background. Finish dry-bitter. Okay, but nothing special...

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass brownish, small head. Dry malty aroma. Starts fine malty, roasty, dry, a bit soapy-sourish. Bitter touch. Finish could be more balanced. Okay.

Creamy light brown head left a spotty cover on still black body. Looks amazing. Malt, tar & liquorice aroma. Medium bodied, creamy with a lighter clean back. Malt, liquorice, burnt & toasted tastes with a tangy fruity finish. Nice one.

Many thanks to Simon! Neutral grainy nose. The beer starts neutral with a grainy back. Slightly sour with a neutral and dry body. Grain there, hints of hops with not much bitterness. Neutral grainy finish.

500ml bottle conditioned; from Beers of Europe. BB Aug 2021, poured into an 8 Sail Brewery pint glass at home on 7th Feb 2021. Slight haze to the light golden body, white head, full at first, but fell away to a thin wisp and collar pretty quickly. Citrus nose and initial taste, soft tropical fruitiness on a placid malty base with a 'fizzy' carbonation. This is a 'live' rating and I am really trying to like this, but it's not doing it for me.

500ml bottle conditioned; BB Nov 2021. Poured into a tall pint sleeve, from the brewery, so had their logo etc, on it. Soot black with a thin tanned head. Malty with a caramel leaning to both the nose and taste; some leather, liquorice with hints of coffee and chocolate. It's not rich, or slick (are Porters ever that viscous?) and doesn't feel like a 10% ABV beer body wise. Liked it, but it's body depth wasn't deep enough somehow.
