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.

Cask at the Corona location. Dark brown with a light tan head. Light chocolate aroma, roasty very nice. Flavor was very nice, more chocolate, very smooth and creamy and flavorful, very well done.

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.

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.

Out of the cask. I found the aroma the most elegant, because it was not only butterscotchy but plain buttery, which is hard to pull off in a dark beer. The flavor wasn’t nearly as well done: even on cask, the body came off watery and underroasted.

On tap. Clear dark brown with a tint of orange. Pleasant aroma of hard roasted malt and a little licorice. Medium body, hard roasted malt, licorice and some ashes. Lightly malt bitter finish. 060709

From tap at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is chocolate and roasted malt. Light roasted, vague acidic and chocolate bitter flavoured. Roasted and chocolate flavoured finish. Smooth flavoured finish.

This is bottled? Ok. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Roasty sweet aroma. The flavor has lots of roast backed by nice mocha sweetness. A nice porter.
