Pours dark brown with a large persistent white head.
Aroma of espresso, some roasted barley, but really quite faint. Some crystal as well. There’s also a rubbery smell, like the sole of a shoe, not sure what’s going on there?
Similar flavours, with light roasted barley, nutty notes, quite prominent sweet caramel and unfortunately, some cidery taste.
Too much carbonation for this type of beer.
Not sure what happened here, needs more roasted grain for starters.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head that lasts a little while. Aroma has big roasted malt with lesser notes of coffee, dark chocolate and smoke. Flavour also starts out with strong roast malt followed by hints of caramel, chocolate and coffee. The malt really dominates this beer at first, revealing more as it warms. Medium body, although it’s light for a porter, with bitterness giving way to a long sweet, dusty finish. Not bad at all.

Oct 16, 2008 Bottle (330ml). Poured dark ruby brown with a decent sized, rocky, tanned head which was average lasting. Aroma was of rich toffee with toasted malts, dusty chocolate, buttery caramel, currents and raisins. Flavour was of black coffee with a moderate bitterness, roasted chocolate malts, sultana’s, dried figs, some salt and liquorice in the finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, a dry/slightly creamy mouthfeel, thick texture (but not overly so) and a good finish.
