(Cask at GBBF, London, 8 Aug 2007) Black colour with brief pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with lots of chocolate. Roasted, malty taste with notes of chocolate, dark fruit, caramel and a nice cocoa bitterness in the finish. Balanced fruity sweetness mingles well with roasted malt all the way. Very nice, mellow but still powerfull porterish strong mild.

Bottle: Extremely dark amber coloured, small but lacing tanned head; estery-fruity nose with traces of roasted malt and with a little acidity; sourish-bitter flavour, light bodied; acidity also detectable in the short bitter-roast-malty finish. Possibly infected, but still drinkable..........
