(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, brown with an orange hue and a beige head. Sweetish, hard roasted malt aroma. Medium body with sweetish, hard roasted malts, some bitter dark chocolate and an almost smoky touch. Very subdued bitterness. There’s no reason for the low ratings - this is a very decent, light porter. 010208

Black with ruby hues. Coffee head and a toasty aroma but hints at brown paper bags! Dark roasty malt flavours, short but uneventful.

<i>Bottled. </i> Black with firm, beige head. Lemony licorice aroma. Fairly dry with rounded mouthfeel. Notes of licorice and syrup. Low-medium bitterness. Licorice dominates the finish.

Tasted 25/05/2005. 330ml bottle at Neil Miller’s Cellar-Vate tasting. Dark brown, almost black, with an airy, disappearing, tan head. Chocolate, coffee and sugar on the nose. Sweet, sugary, malt flavour up front with a roasty bitter finish. A bit of a carbonation tang and too light in weight. Didn’t stack up at all well against the Speights Porter, which followed.
