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. Strong roasted notes in aroma, bark brown/near black colour, small white head. Heavy assertive roasted flavour which I loved. Slightly bitter at the end. Mouthfeel was a little watery. What a great old style session porter. Thanks for sharing jercraigs, any casks available as well??

Dark brown, red tinged body with a small creamy tan head. Coats the glass. (3+) Dark Malty aroma with a hint of roast barley, vague touch of licorice. Lots of coffee like bitter roast in a rude opening. Lingering roast on the tongue. Palate is creamy but light. Nice beer, but the roasty bitterness is not to my liking. Thanks Detritus.

Dark amber brown with thick off white head. Sweet malt nose with hints of nuts and molasses with some roasted qualities. Light body with a sour acidic finish and midpalate. Light fruit with some light nut flavors though the acid is strong nad thus a bit too cleansing of the nice flavors tha I want to stay.

Bottled. Lovely stuff, I’m getting a real taste for porter this winter and this is a fine example. Black with a liquorice brown sheen, mocha nose, toasty and roasty, short dry finish with a sweet twist.

Black color with a medium head. Slight coffee aroma. More coffee in the taste along with some malt. Pretty basic porter and fairly tasty.

Chocolate nose. major chocolate. Very dry in the mouth with almost vinous qualities seeping in with some molasses and chocolate. finished with coffee. a little too dry for me.
