Coarse dark beige froth covers only half the beer. Just barely translucent dark red body. Earthy fruity chocolatey aroma with wooden hoppy notes. Dry-sweetish earthy dusty cocoa taste with fruity notes. Mild mouthfeel. Light body. Dryish earthy wooden resiny aftertaste. Quite nice. Not too pleased with chocolate/fruit clash, but still a good beer. (0.5l bottle, RealAle.com.)

Cask, Ship and Mitre, Liverpool. Dense dark brown colour with a thin muddy coloured head. Roasted malt and chocolate nose, prominent themes which continued on into the flavour which had dark fruit notes. Pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Some gentle bitterness towards to the finish. Quite tasty....I do like to get ’piston’ porter me.
