Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
In the old brewery we had a problem with slugs getting into the brewery. As the beer leaves a trail down the glass as you drink it like a slug, that's how the beer was named. A delicious traditional porter with a full bodied taste of chocolate, coffee, blackcurrant and black cherry with a good aroma. A near black colour with a good white head when served through a tight sparkler.
Pale malt, crystal malt, black malt; Fuggles and Goldings hops.

Bottle. Very little head, dark pour. Chocolate aroma but not much else. Medium-thin mouth feel with average carbonation. Coffee flavor with a touch of chocolate. Not super flavorful, but pleasant. Over, a nice, though not inspiring beer. Good session porter.

Dark brown pour, small head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. Flavor is watery, with chocolate, cold coffee, and some vegetable notes. Thin mouthfeel.

Murky dark brown, almost black with almost no head, just some bubble around the rim of the glass. Aroma of chocolate, molasses and roasted malt. Flavor is some chocolate, sweet roasted malt, and a little dark fruit but kind of weak overall. Mouth feel is pretty thin and watery with no carbonation to speak of.

Pours a dark black almost opaque. Thick tan bubbly head. Aroma is a little weak but flavors of choc and roasted espresso. Finishes malty and dry.

500ml. Bottle. Black body with a hard to pour head. All the characters are in there for a porter - chocolate, coffee and a little liquorice but just a little watery for my liking.

Cask at Birreria Paradiso in DC. Opaque choco black-brown color with a soapy non-head. Lacks any carbonation in the mouthfeel. Big, chocolate flavor. Thick, rich, and creamy. Very gentle on the palate. Excellent.
