Bottle. Pretty decent. This was roasty and soft, Some mocha and soft carame notes, but fairly dry and slightly powdery. Good flavour.

Nov 21, 2009 Courtesy of BA trade.
Pours dark brown, mocha to off-white head.
Aroma is malty, grainy, light hops with hints of dark fruits.
Flavor, malty, nice chocolate/mocha and caramel palate. Some nutty, coffee milk touch. Medium carbonation, possibly some fruits. Drink this at near room temp, enhanced chocolate malts with faint bitter hops in teh finish. Really nice.

Nov 8, 2009 In front of light it’s cherry red; in the shadows it’s nut brown. Big foam-rubber head.
Combination of mild mocha and leathery notes. Hint of tobacco. Roasted malts with that smoky kind of aroma. Complex and wonderfully dark.
Heavy, toasted malts with smoky tobacco flavors. Earthy, muddy flavor (a good thing). Roasted malts are understated, not fetishized or extreme.
The feels is not that of a choker but thick and full-bodied. This is really a fine porter; full of dark flavors, but not a black hole. Really pleasant and delicious.

Oct 28, 2009 (Cask) Poured almost black with tan coloured and long lasting medium sized head. Aroma was of quite burnt malts and sweet liquorice. Body was full with low carbonation. It tasted of roastedness, liquorice, lightly ash, bitterness and sea water. Aftertaste contained burnt malts and bitterness. Very good one.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle thanks to Cletus. Thanks, John! Pours lovely dark brown with slow-forming beige head. Decent lacing throughout. Nose of roasty chocolate malts. Some hop presence and creaminess. A little thin on the palate and finish, but very drinkable. Actually, palate reveals nice mild carbonation... light but lively. Solid if somewhat standard porter.
