~Pours black with reddish tint and big creamy tan head. ~Aroma of roasted chocolate malts. ~Roasted malt flavor with chocolate. Some glass from bottle. ~Thin oily feel. Bitter roast aftertaste. ~ Not real impressed with this one. Maybe I my expectations were too high. Pretty average porter. I wish it was more full feeling.

550ml bottle from Bentalls, Kingston-on-Thames. Deep mahogany with a thin tan head - fast-fading to leave a slender ring; aroma of demarara sugar and well roasted barley; creamy and light in the mouth without being thin, lots of chocolate malt and some sugar, but not too sweet;dry finish with roasted nuts and some licorice, leaving a silky smoothness behind. An excellent porter.
