Bottle. Brown-black beer with a tan head. Roast and toffee aroma. Roast and chocolate flavor with light toffee. Medium bodied. Roast and light toffee linger.

Deep brown pour. The nose is sweet and slightly roasty with a touch of cocoa and some nice roast. A bit of herbal character and a touch of plum on the finish. Burnt sugar and some dark malt. Nice beer.

Tasted this in the Beer Kitchen, Glasgow (Innis & Gunn taproom) on the 6th November 2017. Keg dispense, 1/2 pint. Ruby black in colour with a thin off white head. Malty aroma with notes of sweet molasses on the short nose. Thin creamy mouthfeel and good lacing. Dark malts give a moist treacle sponge base with syrupy prunes evident. Slight earthy damp note to the hop resins which impart a smooth bitterness to the aftertaste. Smooth malty finish with treacle toffee and sweet syrupy prunes flavours to the fore. A cracking session porter.

Hand-pulled in Bennet's Bar, Edinburgh. Pours dark, black thin head which disappears soon. Strong coffee aroma continues through to a coffee flavour, along with some roast, malt. Very good!

Clearance bottle from Beers of the World. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts and caramel.
