L- As dark as Coke, ie you can see through the edges of the glass if it's held up to the light. Clear, reluctant to form much of a head, pours with 3mm pale tan head that soon clears to a fine ring.
S- Toasty to the point of being almost slightly smokey. Different, interesting.
T- The smoke is notably more prominent in the Taste. The lable lists the ingredient 'oak smoked wheat' - that explains it. It certainly yields a pretty intriguing brew. I don't get the orange and coriander also noted on the lable, rather more a smokey chocolate.
F- It comes over as more than 4.5% ABV, it's deep, dark, pretty deeply flavoured.
O- Well balanced, nothing out of place, different and rather intriguing. I'm not a born drinker of 'black beer', but this shows how enjoyable a quality Porter can be. I would buy this again, though prefereably not from a £/convenience store.
