Gravity dispense at Windsor Locale festival - 22/07/12. Very dark brown to black in colour with a thin off white head. Roasted malt aroma allied to toffee and caramel, wood and a little pinch of coffee. Taste pretty much as nose. Decent body and feel to this beer - well constructed and not as watery as some porters coming out of the newer breweries. Good effort!
