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.

Flavor reminds of dark chololate with possibly a hint of cherry. Fairly smooth. Not bad at all.

Another good one from St. Peters. Pours a dark brown colour, almost opaque. Rich aroma of coffee, chocolate malt and a touch of smoke. Fruity taste up front with rich chocolate malt and a bit of caramel. God hops bitterness to finish. Medium body and a creamy mouthfeel.

I noticed this beer becasue of the bottle! this beer follows right in the foosteps of a very fine porter. not overly roasted but not to light either (I am a fan of the porters and stouts). overall a very drinkable and good beer!

pours dark with no head...aroma is a bit tart, with the usual hints of chocolate and coffee.....flavor is a very roasted, smoky chocolate, with a touch of vanilla...palate is a tad thin, but not bad

50 cL bottle. Smooth, tan head dissipating too fast. Pleasant sweet and sour aroma with chocolate and smoke. Flavour a bit thin but pleasant with chocolate, caramel and licorice; some sourness. Long bitter aftertaste. Very smooth and oily mouthfeel. Good but nothing special.

Very attractive appearing beer, pouring very dark brown with a nice thick, fully retained, creamy, dark tan colored head. Aroma follows the appearance with a bouquet of dark chocolate, and some peaty, smokiness. Flavor is likewise smokey and chocolaty with a surprising amount of dry, hop bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is creamy and oily. This is the kind of porter I really like!!

Brown-red with small white head. Fruity aroma with notes of chocolate, cream, coffee, licorice, malt, gravy, wood and some acidity. Roasted and smooth. Creamy flavor with notes of coffee, chocolate, fruit, licorice and nuts. Velvety smooth and oily with salty notes. Build-up bitterness.

Bottle. Smells raisiny and chocolatey. Pours a reddish brow with a very minimal head. Tart and light flavor with some chocolate. Decent porter, but not enough body or substance
