Rich and sumptuous from the off set
poured intro a standard conic pint glass to reveal a pitch black body with a tight thick compressed small bubbled tanned head.
The aroma thrown up is a heady thick roasted affair with full on ground coffee and molasses.
The taste (when served on form i.e. in the Marble arch) is to die for for rich and creamy.
A full on affair of full roast and malt feeding through hints of sarsaparilla through to treacle with never getting sickly.
As near to perfection you will get that side of Manchester city centre.

Tasted by a pint at the Marble Arch brewpub during my trip there last week for the National Winter Ale Festival 2006 held in Manchester. A wonderful pub, with a range of decent craft beers served on handpumps, and all organic and vegan-friendly!! This one is their seasonal brew, made with addition of dashes of port wine.
A: pours an opaque ebony hue, with a brownish beer head, leaving very tight lacing.
S: upfront is raspberry+sour cherry fruitiness, a touch of cherry eau-de-vie and vinous, lightly herbal and a trace of coriander+mint, on top of a deeper scent of leather and smoked maltiness... overall very complex, 3D structured yet refreshing for a stout.
T: fortified wine (port? apparently) and herbal/grassy tea flavour sits on top of a very deep, very dryish bitter, roastiness of malts, leading towards a bone-dry, even slightly tannic like, superbly-lingering bitterness, almost like root-herbs used in some mixed Chinese medicine.
M&D: surprisingly light-bodied yet full of flavours, while the dryess of roasted barley makes this stout utterly drinkable and more-ish. A very decent seasonal brew it is!
