From a 500ml bottle on 30/3/2011. Pours a very dark reddy brown with a big head. Has a lovely aroma of smoked meats, coffee and raisins. Tastes of roasted and burnt malt, and milk chocolate, with smokey flavours very prominent. Finishes with a nice, sharp and quite long hop finish. This is an excellent, complex porter.

500 ml bottle. Deep red, almost black body with a fine, dense beige head. A pleasant smoky aroma with dark malt and chocolate. Flavor is smoked malt, chocolate, berries, hint of bacon/ham and bitter. Well balanced in smoke and bitterness, distinct but not overwhelming. Relativity light body and smooth mount feel, quite quaffable actually.

Bottle at CPK with Scopey, Mes and MadMitch. Clear, light brown-gold pour with a filmy head. Classic brown ale nose, lightly roasty and very malty. Alright flavor, light to medium in sweetness, with notes of faint roast and mild cocoa. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with light brown sugar, some cocoa malts, a bit of dryness. Some hops come through nicely in the finish as well. Good beer.

Bottle from Hi Time. Pours hazy amber with a bubbly/creamy beige head. Aroma of cat pee and tropical fruit? Near full bodied. Flavor is smooth creamy caramel, with astringency, and a lot of hop bitter. Kind of a butterscotch hint with strong citrus and floral/perfume. Which could be tropical fruits. It really puckers the mouth. And the hop seems to mutate from time to time. Floral. Citrus. Pineapple? Really great stuff. Brilliant in fact.
