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.

Aroma is roasted, moderately malty, and lightly hoppy. Head is dense and creamy, mostly lasting and produces good lacing. The flavour is well balanced: medium roast with some sweetness. It actually tastes like a blend of two beers. The finish smooth, soft carbonation and medium to full bodied.

Bouteille-D’un brun très foncé, très gaziéfié, odeur malté de noix, un peu d’amertume, goût sec, de malte, de craie. Moyen--Bottle-Dark brown, very gazified, nut and malt odors, a bit sour, dry in the mouth, taste like chalk and malt. Average.

500 ml bottle. Deep brown colour, crystal clear with a thin tan head and sticky lace. Sweet nutty malt, a bit dusty along with some sweet milk chocolate. Flavour is similar, sweet nutty malts, light chocolate and a bit of herbal flavour. Moderate bitterness. Very easy to drink. Quality brew.

this was as they say in ol’ Italy - itwas a no good!! poor example of a porter. no richness - no complexity. just blah and bland, aroma is nice but full of empty promises

really freaking cool bottle. Really nice dark porter. Dark heavy complex flavors. A little chalky but that didn’t deter that much.

bottle. pours a deep dark brown with ruby tinges on the sides and a small/thin tan head. aroma is bitter chocolate and roast coffee, somewhat thin. it’s fairly bitter to start with caramel flavours and chocolate to finish. not bad, not great...middle of the road.

Bottle. Pours a very dark ruby with a thin light beige head. The aroma is raisins, caramel, and some sweet malt. This is oddly sweet, perhaps overly so. Burnt caramel, roasted barley, cola, sweet malt, and prunes come to mind. Not bad, but not worth the high price (in TN, at least, it costs a bloody fortune).
