Bottle thanks to bluebetty. Dark brown with a coat of beige head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts and sour oranges. Taste has milk chocolate, nuts and apples and oranges, with far too much sourness for what it’s supposed to be. But - mildly infected or just past it - it’s still quite nice.

a great local beer, that is best served chilled on a cold night with a roast

Bottle - dark and murky pour with next to no head. molasses and roast malt aromas. Very, very dry and bitter, too bitter for my tastes. I like porters but this is almost sour, not my cup of tea.

750ml bottle. Pours a murky brown-tinged black, with a smallish and quickly fading head, but thankfully its looks are deceiving. The aroma is classic porter - strong espresso mixes with milk chocolate, hazelnut and some dark roasted malt - and is extremely pleasant. Mild, peppery hops mix with coffee praline to start it off, moving into smooth, sweet milk chocolate in the middle, with mild coffee and toasty malt in the finish. Hazelnut praline lingers in the aftertaste. This is a thoroughly enjoyable beer, and proves the complexity of which porter is capable. A good brew from a promising emerging brewery.
