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.

Unique aroma of milk chocolate, toffee, some roastiness, a kind of dark fruity tartness and old wood. Clear red-brown in color, with a slight, fine head. Bready, toffee, lightly roasted and coffeeish malt flavor, with a gently bittering, tart, fruity finish. Light-medium body, with a brief, thin palate. Definitely very interesting, at least from a historical standpoint.

Dark color, short brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, some licorice. Taste is smooth malty. Not quite strong, but nice.

Pours very dark with a thick brown head with good lacing. Aroma is roasted with notes of pine and citrus. Smooth hop bite up front, light creamy mouthfeel, very nice. Mostly malt on the finish, with a touch of licorice. A very fine beer just a touch overhopped.

Dark, brown color. Strong aroma: malt, roasted malt, liquorice, phenol, caramel. Dry mothfeel, dominated by the roasted malt, with some caramel and liquorice. Roasted malt in the final, with a light sweetness.

Very dark with a ruby tinge. Almost headless and lightly carbonated. Subtle aromas of chocolate and malts. There is a grainy, almost burnt sugar taste that is balanced with some bitterness. Nice toasted aftertaste. Substantial but not too thick or overpowering with a simple, but addictive flavor. Bonus points for the old school bottle.

I was a little disappointed with the mouth feel of this porter it seemd far to watery. It poured a nice dark reddish brown hue with a thin tanish head. Aroma was a mix of cocca and roast coffee. Taste was sweet with some bitter coffee notes, kinda watery.

Had to fight like hell to get a head on this beer. Large bubbles which did not last long. Swirling produces a nice thin foam. Nice roasted aroma. Roasted grains, burnt fried fish sticks and a good helping of licorice. Color is a deep port. Flavor is a bit watery and gritty. Tastes like there is some carbon present. Distinct burnt flavor with a bit of molasses. Finish is dry and smooth. Lingering bitterness and roasted flavor. Great aroma but is a little short in the flavor department. Thanks to radiomgb for this one!
