Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available brewery conditioned and cold filtered in 500ml bottles.
This fine beer is a blend of a mature old ale with a younger light beer - just as a true Porter should be. The marriage produces an extremely characterful brew which is dark in colour and complex in taste.

The color is a rich deep brown with hints of red. Patchy off white head with bubbly interresting lacing. Brandy, molasses and alcohol dominate the nose, followed by pine and smoke. The flavor is of sout and smokey soy, with a palate to match it;s depth. This beer is nothing to write home about.

500ml Bottle: Moderately sweet cream, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, roasted aroma. Poured a ruby/dark brown color with a small tan head that quickly diminished. Very small lacing. Clear. Mildly sweet and lightly bitter flavor. Starts sweet and chocolaty, then turns creamy before finishing as bitter chocolate and cream. Medium body. Texture is a little thick. Soft carbonation. Bitter finish. Overall, goes well with

Pours a plain dark brown. Smells of faint coffee and a malt/hop blend. While drinking it, it starts off with a bite then fades into roasted flavor. It is a little watery which might be part of the reason it goes down smooth.

Pours dark brown with thick tan head. Aroma of port, bitter chocolate, coffee, and a bit of yeast. Flavor is the same but a little thin. Extremely drinkable though.

Much better as it warmed. Cola colored, flat. Mild doughy aroma. Nutty malty gritty palate, some caramel in there. Not bad.

Picked this one and it’s cousin the cream stout up recently. Pours a dark brown with a tasty buttery (if a little thin) head. Not thin for a porter but not heavy either. Very drinkable. Malty with light hints of coffee. Good Stuff!

Found this bottle in the bottom of a cooler that i last used over a year ago, score! The lable had fallen off, but i recalled buying it, and it still had the price tag on it of 4.99 for the bottle! Very smooth, drinkable porter, i didnt think this was as rich as some like the Left Hand or Summit, but very good. Easily drinkable

Cask Stillage at the New Century Hall, Manchester 20/01/2007 Fruity aroma. Darke red coloured fruity and smooth on the palate. Some dryness in a crisp roast finish.
