3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Also known as Stoker Ale) Tasted at the Cornish Arms in Brunswick, Vic.
Quite clear, dark brown colour with thin, white head. Beautiful dark fruit (cherry/sultana), dark malt aroma with malty, chocolate flavour. Not much hop character but enough balancing bitterness.

Kiwifruit! What an odd aroma for a porter. Chocolatey flavour balanced by a distinct acidic cleanliness. Very odd but very tasty nonetheless.

Served too cold at the nfob. Fruit salad and some seasame seeds hidden under cold water like shower water on menopause and don't think that isn't related to a pause with the men.
