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.

Sampled @ GBBF. Very dark brown to black color with a nice red hue, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, caramel, a hint of nuts, dark malts, earthy bitterness. Average to medium body and carbonation. Not bad at all, quite nice.

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.

Cask at the 2014 GBBF. Aroma is really earthy choc, nutty, some berry, choc. Chestnut brown no head. Flavour is rounded earthy wood, nuts, choc. Palate is light, moderately carbonation. Decent porter.
