Nice label and pours a cherry kola hue with a fluffy tan two finger head and nice clingy lacing,the nose is floral perfumey hops,a touch of roasted malts,dark chocolate and dark fruits its a tad interesting and not your usual porter aroma lacks abit of roastiness,the mouthfeel is light bodied and well carbonated with tastes of floral aromatic hops which are quite dominant over the light milk chocolate roastiness and its rounded out with a plum jaminess and overall it's definitely different and as I said before just lacks the roasty toastiness that all good porters should have but it's unique and worth a crack and to be honest it's just what I feel like right now cheers.

Pours black with a small head.
Nose shows restrained roasted malt along with a faint floral and sweet pear note.
Similar flavours; plain roasted malt, floral perfume-like notes followed by a mild bitterness. Needs more roast and less of the floral character.
Could use more carbonation.

Bottle from Beer Deluxe. From notes.
A - Poured black with red around the edges. One finger of light brown head left a spattering of lace and a half finger of retention.
S - Roasty with chocolate and dark fruits. Some sort of fruity twang was there too. Nice with a fair bit of fruitiness and a good roast note.
T - Burnt malt, dark fruit, metallic, spoiled fruit, kinda like bad Guinness.
M - Good carbonation, medium body, sweet finish with that odd spoiled fruit note.
O/D - A very odd flavour lingered in this, making it a little unpleasant. Not particularly enjoyable. Passable, but just barely.
