500ml Bottle - Very dark brown with a tan head. Roasted and fruity aroma. Chocolate, blackcurrant and roasted malt in the taste. Easy to drink.

On cask at white lion, fewcott. Pours black with tan head. Roast bitter start, hint of blackcurrant bitter finish ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at the Magpie & Crown. Lovely stuff - dark and roasty on the nose, an initial plummy sweetness turning slightly tart in the body as hints of dark chocolate come through, then a great roast malt/burnt bitterness finish. What a good porter should be.

Pint at Hobgoblin in Reading. Black beer with essentially no head. Pleasant roasted and rich flavour, just right. Subtle and mild, a little bit smokey. Mild Chocolatey aroma. In the end its a little too mild, but I enjoyed it. A bit watery rather than rich though.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Phoenix Wines, Swanage, Dorset. Dark brown with a sliver of head. Malty fruity strongish mild rather than a Porter in my opinion, sweetish, plummy, a slight chocolate note. Not the most exciting beer really.
