Bottled. 23-03-06 Purchased from the brewery along with a few others. Ruby red colour with small white head. Some chocolate and coffee smells, didn’t find the sharpness that others noticed in fact thought it to be quite smooth some malty and roasty flavours, not bad but then not really very porterish.

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 05. Dirty gold colour which was cloudy too. Thin beige head. Sour nose, bit funky with farmyard notes and really quite unpleasant. However it is only slightly sour in the moouth with sweetish alcohol (thanks Duff for pointing this out) and a hoppy finish. Extremely unusual beer for an English brewer. Seemed expensive for what it was.
