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.

500 Ml Bottle-Pours a very dark mahogany red w/a moderate tan bubbly head. Had a little bit of a hopped/carbinated aroma. Decent flavored porter, some traces of chocolate & burnt malt, with a little bit of a carbinated/coffee flavor to it. Kind of thin, but had a long rich finish. Solid, not spectacular.

Bottled. A clear, dark brown beer with a nice beige head leaving lacings. Roasted aroma with some coffee and a vague hint of chocolate. Coffee, burnt malt and some chocolate-notes in the flavor. Too thin-bodied. Long, coffee-bitter finish with some fruityness. A bit one-dimentional, maybe some food or snack could to the trick? (070321)

I think this had been on for a few days. Aroma is seriously fruity, no sign of roasted malt at all, perhaps a touch of citrus fruit. Taste is similar again seriously fruity very drinkable, but it was about 1/2 a day away from turning i recon.
