Tasted by half-pint at the Sussex Beer Festival 06, Hove Town Hall, along with Duff(Rastaman). Its actually one of only two beers during the whole session that I remembered to write any notes about, not because this is particularly good, but because I finally felt tired of talking all the time~~ Gravity-dispensed from a firkin.
A: very dark brownish hue, a thin and fluffy tan head and low carbonation.
S: straight-forwardly porter-ish: coffee-beans and cherry-flavoured chocolates dominate the nose, along with a lightly caramely aroma firmly behind. Deliciously dark malty and not terribly complex in terms of hop components.
T: semi-sweet and softly bitter roasted malts and leather-ish upfront (I wonder why leather would spring to mind as Ive never tasted it, but the flavour on the palate tells me so~~). At the back, its still one-dimensional malty, albeit improved with good lingering bitter-sweetness of chocolates and a faint suggestion of ripe dark fruits.
M&D: soft and smooth alright, but somehow the overall body is too thin to my liking. I suppose it couldnt have scored higher because it was tasted alongside Milton Nero, a wholesome oatmeal stout which Duff was drinking at the time, and the latter surely is superior in terms of complexity and depth. Come to think of that, Ill try to avoid reviewing any beer against another beer in a different category in the future, as simultaneous benchmarking could result in less objectivity, IMO.
