Cask in Crown & Two Chairmen. Pours almost black but with reddish hue in the light. Nose is milk chocolate and touch of coffee. Taste is milk chocolate and a bit of lactic milkiness. Very chocolatey porter and very good.

nealgersh (19) - South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - SEP 20, 2011
Meant to be a porter recipe from the 1930s. As a historical recreation it is interesting, but no more. The initial nice porter (darker) malty nose and flavour makes way for a fair amount of sourness, but it’s not a satisfying mouthful. It’s a bit thin for me and doesn’t have complex enough flavours.

larsniclas (4360) - Billdal, SWEDEN - JUL 1, 2011
Bottled from ? Black with a small tan head. Dry cocoa in the aroma. Pretty thin body with a milky and dry cocoa. Way too sweet.
