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.

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.

Aroma is a rosted/malty. Pour is very clean. A little bitter for a porter, but still was pretty good.

16.09 oz pour from goofy bottle at room temp. Huge tan, rocky head that diminishes quickly but laces nicely. Deep reddish color with nice malty aroma. Very smooth mouthfeel and a lingering taste of dark roasted malts + coffee hints. I’m not a porter fan, but this was great. I’d drink this again over many other beers. Maybe now I’m a porter fan, huh? Thanks to Dave G. for the gift.

I think I picked the wrong music for this one. This is best drunk alongside some dainty cutesy Mozart or Schubert chamber works, not Carl Nielsen’s Fourth Symphony.

Actually, that’s more a cheap shot at the beer’s dainty proper little head upon pour from dainty oval bottle, diminishing to a dainty proper almost-nothing. Aroma is enticing, roasty. Beer itself delivers a surprisingly undainty body and smooth dainty finish. If the appearance were more top-notch, this would be right up there. Like many a Porter of yore, it shall make for a fabulous session beverage.

Very dark red with gigantic head and a bunch of lace. The bottle looks awesome, by the way. Mild malty aroma. Interesting flavor that isn’t too strong. Some chocolate, a little watery. Very drinkable and refreshing but not great.

Bottle Dark pour with light creamy head. Very strong aroma of coffee, roasted malts and a liquorice or something. Pretty much the same thing in the flavor. A bit too thin and smooth though. Not bad, not the best porter I’ve had.
