Pours a great, translucent black with a small, creamy, off-white head. Nice soft aroma, fine roastiness and chocolate. Low carbonation, good mouthfeel. Flavour has light coffee, liquorice and chocolate. Very dry finish. Very nice.

Almost black, healthy loose head. Chocolatey aroma, a bit sweet. Not sticky, in fact almost watery; refreshing. Beautiful well-balanced chocolatey taste, sweet roasted malts. Storming brew - best of the fest.

May 3, 2008 (Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 25 April 2008) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of liquorice and freshly ground, heavily roasted coffee. Malty, roasted taste with fresh coffee, dark fruit, ashes, prunes, liquorice and a hint of smoke. Nice coffee bitterness in the finish. Rather dry for a porter. Medium body. This really is an excellent porter! More of this please.
