UPDATED: APR 4, 2021 Robe sombre et noire. Nez assez timide sur des notes torréfiées. La bouche est très douce et légère, presque aqueuse, on retrouve des notes de café, de chocolat et de malts grillés mais ce n'est pas très intense. Un porter assez simple finalement.

UPDATED: APR 1, 2021 Bottle from a London off licence. Very dark brown + tan head. Big dark malty, big liquorice, umami, black coffee, caramel, dark chocolate, dark fruit, light brown bready, light hoppy.
