BCA. Pleasant roasty blend of sweet chocolate and malts. Although quite aromatically roasty a bit more restrained and earthy in the mouth and fairly dry. Pretty good.

Close to a brown ale in character, smoth, nuts, vanilla and milk chocoalte. Rather thin on the minus side.

Cask Conditioned handpump Malt Shovel Northampton. A black beer with a little beige head. Lots of coffee in the nose. Roasty too. Bitter and roasty taste. A bit of fruit behind the coffee in the nose. a good beer which is a stout in my book. Very dry.

(bottle conditioned) giant beige clouds above a lake of tar
nose is a cluster of ..roast chocolate malts... winey raisins dancing in the air
tastes like a full bodied Porter should . Good construct.

[cask at the Wellington, Birmingham] Dark black pour with a decent tan head, obviously well kept. Aromas of coffee and bitter malt, flavours of roast coffee and bitter chocolate. Very drinkable indeed, good roasty porter [18112010]

The color is mahogany-red and the headis creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel, licorice and hints of butterscotch and ashes. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of roasted malt, licorice, caramel and the finish is rather dry with notes of bitter licorice. It’s quite nice.

Bottle 500ml.
