Apr 21, 2005 1 pint 0.9 fl. oz. bottle. Deep mahogany pour with super-thick fluffy dark khaki head that leaves thick wads of lacing. Vanilla beans, chocolate malts, coffee and irish cream liqueur in the nose. I start to pick up the juicy blackberry aromas toward the bottom of the glass. Super-thick, rich and smooth body. Packed with roasty malts. Pretty dry and bitter hoppy finish. Starts off with chocolate and roasty coffee and finishes with some hops and some dark fruits. Hints of blackberries, cherries and raspberries in the finish. I believe this is the best porter I’ve ever had.

Apr 17, 2005 Cask Conditioned, gravity poured at Banbury Beer Festival ’05. Dark brown colour with malty head. Finally caught up with this one, dry bittering with roasted chocolate malts. A little too thin for me but I did get the fruits with a touch of Raspberry. Reasonable.

Apr 1, 2005 Updated: Dec 6, 2008[500 ml. bottle] Dark black pour with a huge tan head. Very metallic aroma with a slightly sweet hint. The taste is very sweet and fruity. Begins with a metallic taste from the foam that becomes a sweet chocolate taste with a very odd coffee/malt finish. Didn’t really care for this one.
