This is a 4.2% beer made by Young's, or for the pedantic; Well's and Young's Brewing Company Ltd. The joint venture with the Well's brewing family of Bedford having been born in 2006.
I tried this at the the Marquess of Anglesey in Covent Garden. As a Young's pub you would expect a decent pint and this was an enjoyable porter.

The beer is enticingly dark, with ruby hues when held to the light. A good robust chocolate and coffee flavour is evident on first taste, which leads to sweet dark fruit hints, and a bittersweet molasses finish. Good stuff.
