(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, reddish mahogany with a creamy, beige head leaving laces. Aroma is almost pure chocolate. Medium body with distinct, hard roasted malty accents and then also flavours of bitter, dark chocolate. The malt does leave some bitterness. 030107

Amber color; thin persistent head. Common aroma, the flavor is much better, malty, with caramel; fresh, easy drinkable, with light malt fruitness; and it has a good hopping, even if not particularly aromatic. Long final. Good.

Cask handpump, Market Porter. Copper colour with thin white head. Standard bitter. Nice malt/hop balance, with a great hop finish. Maybe a bit of stilton in there somewhere. Certainly the best bitter on show that evening.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pale golden with an absent head. Oddly unclean and metallic aroma. Medium-bodied again with weird, unclean and extremely sweet accents with a strangely sour finish. Extremely inharmonious and horrendous. Glad I’m not allergic to gluten.... 281006

Bottled, patch 1297 (BB 10/2006). Very dark ruby color, good tan head. Aroma has chocolate, roasted malts and bready barley. Medium to full bodied. Ashy (tobacco), cold coffee and toasted malts in the flavor, also like flavor of burnt rye bread. Very "dark" stout with lots of roast and toast. At least interesting.
