Jun 27, 2008 Cask, JDW, 4th April 2008. Standard dark brown porter appearance. Aroma and flavour both boast ashy smokiness and a dark malt sweetness. Quite light in the mouth given the strength.

Mar 30, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton. A black coloured beer with a tan head and lacing. The aroma is roasty with caramel and chocolate notes also. The taste has coffee and some sweet notes. Tasty and moreish.

May 1, 2008 A Sim rate (cask at the Gatehouse): Sweetly nutty, caramel and delightfully porter aroma. I could sniff this all day. Translucent with a brownish red tint. It looks as good as it smells. Hazelnut initial hit like the hazelnut coffee we used to brew at CyberCafe NYC. Coffee and chocolate follows with a nicely-roasted finish. I had to get another one. Really, really enjoyed it!

Apr 28, 2007 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark brown. Malt aroma. Delicious fresh, fruity, easy chugging porter. After some poor Titanic offerings recently, this was a very pleasant surprise.
