leaparsons (6320) - Leicester, - DEC 11, 2010
Bottle. Near black with a thin beige head. Aromas are peat with plummy fruitiness. Dark chocolate with hints of saltiness. Some caramel with hints of oiliness. Flavours are roast malts with dark chocolate and rich plummy damson. Not too much different to the standard version of the porter. Dry with some aniseed on the finish. Decent.
