Bottle from Beautiful Beers. This one is called Black Porter Ale but is same % as this beer so didn't want to make extra work for Admins. Appearance - very dark brown to black and opaque. Thin fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate, blackberries and blueberries. Taste - blackberries and chocolate. Prune or raisin edge. Palate - tangy and rich texture. Medium bodied. Tangy but at the same time roast finish. Overall - good stuff.

Creamy tan head left a decent cover on an unclear dark amber coloured still body. Woody, sweet citrus & malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue with a sharper clean back. Woody, slightly vinous, raisin, malt & bitter tangy citrus tastes with a long pithy finish. Unusual but tasty.
