Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
In the old brewery we had a problem with slugs getting into the brewery. As the beer leaves a trail down the glass as you drink it like a slug, that's how the beer was named. A delicious traditional porter with a full bodied taste of chocolate, coffee, blackcurrant and black cherry with a good aroma. A near black colour with a good white head when served through a tight sparkler.
Pale malt, crystal malt, black malt; Fuggles and Goldings hops.

Pours very dark and thick, has a very acrid roasty aroma. Light flavors of chocolate and caramel, but has that mouthfeel of scraped off the bottom of the coffee pot roastiness. Not overly complex and pretty average.

16.9 oz bottle-Pours a dark brown almost black body with a nice big tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and a little chocolate. Flavor begins with burnt malt followed by some coffee and chocolate and then finishes dry. A little light or weak for a porter. Otherwise, a decent tasting brew.
