GBBF Day 4. Cask. The great Harrisoni/madmitch76 walkabout. Clear dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is light and airy, semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Mild dark malts. Pinch of chocolate drinking powder. Lightly tangy fruits. A light creamy sweetness before the dry finish. Okay.

Cask - Dark malts, soy and rum. Deep maroon with almost no head. Nutty, twig and a bitter finish with a touch of bittersweet chocolate. Not quite the porter I was expecting.
