Commercial Description:
A dark London-style ale. Medium-bodied, roasty, with a hint of dark chocolate on the finish. A favorite among 18th and 19thcentury porters working in and around London.

On tap at brewery. Brown with a fizy tan head. Faint chocolate aroma. Smooth chocolate taste with a grainy finish.

Out of the cask. I found the aroma the most elegant, because it was not only butterscotchy but plain buttery, which is hard to pull off in a dark beer. The flavor wasn’t nearly as well done: even on cask, the body came off watery and underroasted.

This is bottled? Ok. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Roasty sweet aroma. The flavor has lots of roast backed by nice mocha sweetness. A nice porter.

Bottle; poured a black color with a nice light brown head. Aroma was light with mostly cocoa and some light roasted elements. Flavor was much better; alot of coffee and roasted malt with chocolate accents. Soft on the palate. Pretty good version of the style.

On tap poured a dark black color with a nice brown head with good lacing. Aroma was mostly chocolate and roast. Nice roasted malt taste with a touch of hops. Overall a nice porter with a good balance.
