Bottle from Beers Of Europe, King’s Lynn
Dark brown color, almost black, with moderate compact head. The aroma of smoke has also components of burnt paper, wood. The mouthfeel is very dry, and quite weak; there is some dark caramel flavor, with some dark chocolate, with light touch of smoke and burnt wood, ending with a metallic impression that is not very pleasant; short final.
It has very little of a Porter. Simple.
