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.

I was pretty amped to try this one. Pours a deep brown with a off white head. Caramel coffee aroma with some lacing. This had more of a belgian taste than I was expecting. Not bad though it was not as good as I expected it would be.

Pours a nice deep reddish brown, almost a chocolate like color with a nice billowy head and some good lace. The aroma is akin to a creamy milk chocolate and a little coffee. The flavor is many things, and most of them work together. The porter is fairly robust with plenty of roasty coffee flavors and some odd fruity, cherry like, and vinious flavors. There is a bit of cardboard too but it might just be a mistreated bottle. Overall it’s a fairly dry porter with a pretty low hoppiness, enjoyable if not terribly exciting.

Burnt coffee and caramel malt, toasted coffee and a hint of sour tang throughout. Not bad.

Bottle: Aroma with roasted malt and dark fruits. Dark brown color, off-white foamy head. Flavor is light caramelic, roasty with hints of coffee and burnt coffee beans. Light astringent, sourly finish and bitterness of roasted malt and dark chocolate.

Bottle. Pours a dark burgundy, fairly clear, fuzzy craggy head with lots of lacing. Chocolate, fruit, some caramel, honey and a touch of funk. Flavor is a little more mild, chocolate and caramel malt and fruit, some bitterness. Thin and dry, not your typical porter.

2009 Bottle. The smoothest porter I’ve ever had. Overall, not the most complex porter, but very very nice. Aroma increases as the beer warms, reminiscent of molasses and malts. Looks dark, dark brown with very little head. Very smooth mouthfeel with a clean finish. Flavor of coffee and cocoa with very little hops. Excellent beer.

Dark brown pour with a light tan head, big roasty aroma, hints of dark fruit and chocolate. Taste is syrupy, heavy roast, plums, maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel and chocolate.
