Stephen Harris | | 03 May 2012 | The first time I’ve tried this classic Porter since Red Squirrel’s relocation. Still excellent! Dark brown, with a full-bodied chocolate malt and roast barley taste. A bit of liquorice. Hoppy finish. |

Andrew | | 08 Oct 2010 | Superb condition. Black with a dense white head. Slightly milky, thick in the mouth, powdery with a hint of roastedtoasted malt. It was so drinkable and I wouldn't have guessed that it was 5%. |
