Alenomore		30 Dec 2012	The beer of the day. A top class big un'. And a shame that all the bottled Imperial Stout had gone.
Andrew	Not Tried	16 Dec 2012
Eddie		03 Dec 2012	Wonderful sweet light porter with hints of toffee and chocolate :)
Brian		02 Dec 2012	As I said before, the hit of coffee seems stronger than before.
Brian		24 Nov 2012	Excellent as ever, but with what seemed an even bigger hit of coffee/choc flavour.

Blair		09 Apr 2012	Very good porter.

Andrew		02 Sep 2011	What a great beer this is. Black with all that vinous toastiness you get with Larkins Porter but with some great dark chocolate and chocolate powder notes.

Brian		22 Feb 2013	If the oatmeal stout was an excellent then this was an excellent+. I could drink this all day...well except at 5.8% I couldn't, but apart from that it's a superb coffee, chocolate, silky smooth sweet porter. As good here as at the Foundry
