3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours dark ruby, with creamy head. Smells of chocolate syrup. Palate of medium roast, tasting a little of lactose in the sweet beginnings. Chased with a nice hop hit, leaving some coffee/dark chic bitterness. Easy drinking and tasty, but not a real roasty porter.

Bottle from Microbar, £2.39. Now this is going to make my end of year ratings very difficult, wonderful once again from Saltaire. A superb porter, hazelnut, coffee, caramel nose. Pours ruby brown with a fluffy beige head which quickly turns to a lace. Roasted malt, nuts, hazelnut and a hint of coffee taste. Smooth in the mouth, quite light with a low carbonation, bittersweet finish. This is a superb beer, very impressed.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Jacks, Westholme Store, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon 17.06.11 consumed at Haro campsite, La Rioja, Northern Spain sat outside Frank (Camper) 28.06.11 Pours reddy brown with a tan head. The aroma is camp coffee with some syrup. Its a little too sweet really with the addition of the syrup flavourings probably providing this sweetness. However its a fine beer and whilst not totally my thing the hazlenut shows well as does the coffee. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.3
