UPDATED: OCT 25, 2022 24/10/2022. Draught at The Squire’s Landing (James Squire Brewhouse), The Rocks, Sydney. Pours very dark brown with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, liquorice, molasses, black treacle. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation. Solid but unspectacular.

UPDATED: MAY 2, 2020 Wow! Definitely a favourite! Dark, smooth with chocolate undertones - LOVE!

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2020 Rich malty dark chocolate aroma with hint of coffee and burnt wood. Superb range of flavours notably chocolate, smoke, coffee & nut. Great example of a porter.

UPDATED: NOV 22, 2019 Pours dark. Rich malty and hints of coffee and chocolate . Stronger than expected. First porter sampled in Australia. Smokie hints and although not exceptional to end very acceptable. Interestingly subtle

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2019 Poured from bottle into tulip glass. Malty and full of flavour. Pours a typical porter dark colour with a lasting beige head. Full bodied with hints of smoke, coffee and malty goodness. Very drinkable without being outstanding.

UPDATED: AUG 10, 2019 Dark toffee on the nose, starts well on the palate but ends up a wee bit bland

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2019 Although only ok on its own, pair this with a hazelnut chocolate and it expands into something else.

UPDATED: MAR 17, 2019 A birthday six pack down the hatch. All delicious. I want another batch. Robust but sessional. Dark brown. Small thin head. Slightly bitterness at the end of the mouth feel.

UPDATED: MAR 11, 2019 Appearance: dark copper brown, slight tan head Aroma: roast malts, slightly burnt Palate: medium mouthfeel, light carbonation Taste: roast malts, light toast Overall: pleasant porter

From bottle (BB 27July18) in tulip. Pours dark brown with thick tan head and aroma of roasted malt. Choc notes with a bit of a sour/tart bite in the finish.
