COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A dark London-style ale. Medium-bodied, roasty, with a hint of dark chocolate on the finish. A favorite among 18th and 19thcentury porters working in and around London.

Bottle; poured a black color with a nice light brown head. Aroma was light with mostly cocoa and some light roasted elements. Flavor was much better; alot of coffee and roasted malt with chocolate accents. Soft on the palate. Pretty good version of the style.

On tap poured a dark black color with a nice brown head with good lacing. Aroma was mostly chocolate and roast. Nice roasted malt taste with a touch of hops. Overall a nice porter with a good balance.

Chestnut colored brew with a thin tan head. Nice roasted malt nose. A little thin on the body but has a good full flavor. Roasted malt, milk chocolate and a little dark coffee bitterness. Decent brew.

Poured deep, dark brown with a smallish head. Sweet milk chocolate aroma. Flavor was a bit bitter but balanced nicely with the addition of chocolate. Crisp finish.

They had this both on draft & on cask when I was there. I'll rate the cask version. Nice medium bodied, creamy, roasty porter. Deep brown in color with a long lasting head. Extremely drinkable.
