Cask at NWAF 2009. A very dark brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of roasted malt and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, roasted malt, and soy sauce, leading to a dry roasted finish.

[Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading.] Mahogany with a thin tan head; earthy malt aroma; thin body, with earthy malt flavours and a hint of treacle and licorice; the finish is dry and lightly hopped. Rather light in body for a porter.

One of the first dark cask ales I had in England, and it made a lasting impression on me. Brimming with dark malts, dark fruits and everything you possibly could ask for in a classic porter. Brilliant!
