I was bowlled over by this - It has the right notes of coffee and burnt intensity and sweet malty flavours without being cloying or too much too handle. Good mouthfeel, a lovely deep rich colour in the glass. You can buy it from Saino’s, its a dead good winter warmer - top brew.

May 10, 2008 Pours a dark red with a beige head. Aroma features sappy hops, a hint of banana and light grainy chocolate. On the palate there is firm understated roast grain, a hint of chocolate and caramel malt, banana, and minty character that becomes more and more medicinal as the beer warms. The finish is malty and medicinal. Good beer although medicinal character detracts somewhat from the whole.

May 10, 2008 Bottle. Blackish beer with a very strong head. The aroma is midlly roasted and the flavour is quite deeply roasted. Overall a nice roasted and bitter’ish beer.

Apr 30, 2008 75cl bottle @ the meantime brewery. Stronger malt nose than the stout. Meaty ant not quite as complex. Makes more than up for it in flavour. Much meatier, heavy body. Darkest amber in colour light lacy white head. Fizzy heavy bready mouthfeel. Grand porter!

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark opaque brown with a full off white head. Aroma was roasted, malty, and sweet molasses. Flavor was roasted, lightly sweet, and burnt raisins. The beer was bitter and a little thinner than expected.
