McGargle		05 Nov 2011	Looked good when poured with a tight beige head. Thinner than previously but with solid roasty and lactic flavours.

McGargle		05 Sep 2009	Jet black porter. Mild lactic taste from whey in the brew. Soft in the mouth with well balanced flavours - almost a strong mild.

Ray		01 Jun 2010	Deep ruby read with long lasting beige head. Enticing chocolate and roast aromas followed though to the taste. Long lasting, smooth, dry finish.
Ray	Not Tried	26 May 2010	Shame to miss this but I was in the mood for lighter beers tonight.

McGargle		15 Jan 2010	Can't convince myself I like this version. Dominant chocolate - not much room for anything else. Oh, for some subtlety.
McGargle		10 Jan 2010	Completely different to the sample tried on 5th September. Mild lactic taste replaced by rich chocolate and coffee. No longer a strong mild more a porter but still satisfying.
