A Sim rate (Chelmsford BF): Sweet, winey aroma with a hint of plum. Looks very portery.. which is always good to see. Flavour’s ok. It tastes somewhere between a bitter and a porter. Slight bitterness, but then a sweet plum balances it out. OK, but not great.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, Hotel du Vin, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Deep dark brown with next to no head.
Choccy malt, coffee aroma and flavour with a hint of woodiness. Smooth and easy drinking with some depth to it despite the weakish abv. Would like to try cask effort.
