Cask @ Record Cafe, Bradford. Extremely dark brown with a thick frothy off-white head. A touch thin tasting in its texture, but maintains a good roasted malt nose with chocolate evident which is less stated in its taste but still prevalent.

Tried at the royal hop pole Twekesbury. Deep dark Amber body with creamy off white head. Aroma has roasted malt, as with the flavour, which also has a touch of cocoa.

Cask at the Kings Arms - London. Pours deep brown with a foamy, tan head. Moderate roasted malt aroma, nips of earth. Light sweet flavor with mild chocolate character, some well toasted bread, a bit of earthy and burnt wood. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Lightly drying roasted malts to finish. Decent stuff.

36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival (July 2012) in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn was the setting for my tasting of this beer. Gravity poured pint: dark amber/brown body with a tan coloured head of foam. The nose was semi-sweet molasses: chocolate and toffee esters mostly. The taste was also semi-sweet with the dark chocolate and toffee from the aroma coming through again, add some liquorice and caramel into the flavour stakes and a smooth body feel and you’ve got a very drinkable Porter in your hands. This was my last beer at the festival and although my taste buds were most likely not at their best: this beer certainly was.

Bottle from The Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire. Consumed WOMAD Festival, Wiltshire, Saturday 28th July 2012 Pours dark brown, watching a band with a beer in one hand and a bag in the other and therefore difficult to rate so much of this done from memory 30 mins later. However what I will say is that this is another very decent beer from this brewery, I really have been pleasantly surprised. Has a nice fruity bite, good bitterness. More good stuff from Gloucester.
