Bottle picked up from Westholme, Londis, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, had this 11-05-08 Pours deepest darkest brown with a small beige head. Good fruity roasted taste, marvellously flavoursome with a great punchy bitterness. There is just a smidgen of toffeeness in this but this is soon beaten back by the roasted bitter assault. A quite lovely porter that even allowing for some hoppiness seems to be a very good example of the style, I for one loved this.

Jul 5, 2008 Black as my ex’s heart. Coffee, dark chocolate, hops. Drinkable indeed, would like more alcohol but can’t have everything or my missus would be a big titted, peachy arsed filthpot.

This is what a porter should be. Coffee dryness but with malty sweetness to balance it. Hop bitterness and flavor is low but present
