300ml bottle (M&S)
Chocolate and vanilla custard aroma. Same in the taste. A bit thin tastewise, but still quite full bodied.

bottle. Deep golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel, sugar, candis sugar, toffee. Flavour is toffee, chocolate, sugar, candis sugar, caramel. Far away from a porter.

500 ml bottle. Dark golden body with an off-white head. Aroma is milk chocolate with a hint of caramel. Flavor is sweet milk chocolate, cocoa, light caramel and some bitterness. Thin to medium body, moderate aftertaste with chocolate. Not really bad but not to exiting either. Chocolate flavor – yes, Porter – not at all.

Bottled, 500ml from M&S, Banbury. Copper to brown with off white head. Sweet chocolate aroma leading to much the same thing in the flavour, in fact, very sweet. Glutinous Chocolate with a plummy fruity note. Weird.

500ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark copper. Not much on the nose, just a faint hint of milk chocolate with a bit of cream. Suprisingly watery, lacking body. Chocolate taste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bottle, real sweet chocolate aroma wow, but nothing elseamber, clear, white foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, not bad taste but without better malty fullnes. I can feel a bit alcohol. full body, slick feel, soft carbonation, long finish, interesting but not awesome

Bottle 500ml @ yngwie
Pours clear copper with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, sweet licorice, chocolate and sugar. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Without doubt, the worst beer I have encountered since starting to rate. 500 ml bottle, dark brown, no head. So sweet it made my teeth ache. Horrible synthetic chocolate flavour, and not even good chocolate at that. This shamefully foul brew went down the sink, but unfortunately, I bought two bottles!

Bottle. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, fruitiness and cacao. Flavor is sweet and malty with some cacao and caramel. Medium body, average carbonation.

50 cl bottle, Sheffield, UK. Amber colour, hot chocolate powder aroma with underlying floral spice. Somewhat velvet-like texture, some hop brightness with more hot-chocolate emerging, then a bitter hit at the finish. More of a chocolate infused bitter than a porter it seems, and slightly artificial in flavour, but not offensive.

Light tan colored pour. Small off-white head, doesn’t last, doesn’t leave lacing. A caramel, malty and chocolate aroma. Taste is like chocolate liqueur. Horrible fake chocolate aftertaste.
