Feb 14, 2008 (Cask) Clear, dark brown with a warm tint of red and a small, beige head. Fantastic and vinous - almost port-like - nose. Medium in body, low in carbonation. Dry, hard roasted malt accents - but not really burned. Again some lovely vinous accents and some dried fruit. Distinct malt astringency. 070208

Dec 2, 2007 Updated: Jan 23, 2008Pint pulled at the brew pub, a dark brown with a thick foamy light beige head. A good roasted caramal malt aroma. The palate is smooth at first and then builds good bitterness. The roasted malt flavour comes with hints of licorice and clove.

Aug 15, 2007 Big roasty aroma with licorice too. Tastes fantastic. Big fruits with roasty dark choc, restrained burnt malt bitterness that peaks quick. Super-drinkable creamy medium body. Tastes like eating toasted Vogel’s bread. The malt rules! Big roasty lingering malt that’s not too bittersweet. I’d have just the one with some food.

May 21, 2007 Good porter that avoids the trap of being to acrid. it is well balanced with softer malt flavours to go with the roasty chocolate flavours you expect from a porter. Good hop presence and solid mouthfeel....another excellent representation of the style

Jan 21, 2007 Dark brown/black in colour with no head. Looks oily, thin body coffee and malt flavours.
My girlfriend added that "it was like a cols long black with a teaspoon of sugar."

Feb 8, 2006 Cask at the brewpub. Dark brown. Aroma of coffee and licorice. Dryish and very roasty with soft mouthfeel. It has a nice malt character, and this is combined with a wealth of hops. Even though the finish may be soewhat raw or indistinct this one goes down as an excellently crafted English style cask porter.

Aug 1, 2005 Cask. Pint shared with beer_ledgend at the brewery. Clear ruby-red/dark brown beer. Very big chocolately/chicory aroma, light toast and a bit of dark fruit as well. Flavour is nice and rich, with chocolate, toast, and subtle coffee flavours present. Long delicate touch of hop bitterness in the finish along with the requisite toastiness. Very nice porter.
