Wonderful coffee aroma. Wonderfully rich roasted malt taste with hints of coffee.

Jul 21, 2008 Cask conditioned at Merton Summer B.F ’08. Black with cream head. Quite sweet for a Porter, some coffee notes, but an overwhelming flavour of Pontefract Cake. Liquorice and touches of chocolate. It’s ok.

May 4, 2008 The Green Man, Long Itchington ’08. Blackish with ruby tints and a tan halo. Coffee immediately apparent, smooth milky choc, a hint of peppery fruit. Simple and good. Wish I’d taken more notice, was convinced I’d had it before. BOTF?
