Bottle at papsoes place, I think chris_o brought this one, so thanks to whoever it was. It poured jet black, with a small, beige to tan head. Coffee and burnt malt on both nose and in the mouth. There’s a bonfire sourness as well, in the mouth. Thin body, but then again it is only 4% ABV. The body makes it easy to drink, but boring. The finish is mostly coffee. It would probably go well as a session beer, but it is too one-dimentional and boring. (070510)

From 33 cL bottle (labelled as Pitfields organic christmas ale 2005). Pours hazy orange, no head. Aroma of ginger and cinnamon, very dominating spices. Flavour too is very spicy, has a good bitterness. Too spicy overall. Finish is dry and spicy.

Bottle: Hazy, chestnut coloured, smaller fluffy off-white head, slowly diminishing; dryish fruity and toasted-malty nose, soft MF, quite light-bodied, mainly moderate bitter flavour with a light sweetness; dryish bitter finish with notes of cacao or coffeee. A light, likeable Porter, pleasant.......

(bottle) Cloudy, murky brown colour with a short, off-white foamy layer. Moderately sweet and light acidic-fruity aroma of roasted malt, caramel and liquorice with woody hops in the background. Bitter flavour with a light liquorice sweetness, a bit slim bodied mouthfeel with a soft carbonation. Dry-ish, slightly toasted and bitter finish with a subtle coffee-ish and woody hoppy touch. A bit slim but nevertheless pretty likeable brew. More like an English Ale than a Porter.
