Jul 1, 2006 Bottle at the Royal Oak, Borough. Slightly thin, malty and sweet porter, softly flavoured, and with that odd Harveys house character, described by some as ’woody’.

Pours a deep garnet/black with a short, wet, khaki head. Peaty aroma with an excess of prune and wee touches of wine and cherries. A thin, wet mouthfeel finishes dry with mild astringence. Flavor suggests mild oxidation, but there is no "best by" date on my bottle to reference. Mostly wooden and pruney flavour with some dark chocolate, port wine and small-brewed coffee. Nice, but definitely an acquired taste.

Oct 4, 2004 Pretty damn black.
Interesting and intriguing nose. Whiffs of apple cider, caramel and milk chocolate.
Non aggresive and certainly not offensive but there isn’t much going on here. Front is mainly sweet and soft with some diverse earthy tones. Mid is lightly roasted coffee, some light dark fruitiness and milk chocolate. Finish has a hint of pepper, notes of grapes and a lingering dry, nutty and chocolatey presense on the palate.

Jun 24, 2004 Wow! Different labelling on my bottle than shown here. This is soft and mineralized, black malt(chocolatey) to the extreme, toffeeish, sweet, very slightly bitter. A great beer - rich and creamy. Long lasting thin head. Intensely drinkable.

Jan 8, 2009 Dark brown color, with a creamy fluffy tan-colored head, leaving some laces, toasted, roasted malt, fruity raisiny nose, with a cookie dough, molasses, coffee note, with a hint liquorice spiciness and dark chocolate in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a mild toasted, caramelized, roasted malt character with some dark chocolatey, burnt toast, and coffee bean roasty flavors, with some molasses, liquorice accents, leading towards a chocolatey, roasty, dry bitterness finish.

Jan 18, 2005 Whatever the name, this was pretty good. Nice dark body, almost black. Complex nose: coffee, choclate, vanilla, smokiness. Sweet. Medium bodied and nice smooth feel in the mouth. Minimal carbonation. Good flavor. Sweetness but not cloying. Chocolate, coffee. Good stuff.

May 30, 2005 Pours oily black. Thin head, but strong lacing. Taste is molassis, wood, and hints of smoke. Finish is watery but retains the dark sweet molassis feel, with touches of roasted bitterness. Really not a bad porter at all, but the body could use a little bit more muscle.

Nov 18, 2004 Dark, roasted malt aroma with bourbon notes. Nice, but somewhat subtle. Dark ruby red, brown in color. no head. Smooth flavor; dry with chocolate malts. A little too lactose in the finish. Ok. Probably the best of the Harvey’s line I’ve had. But that’s not saying much.
