Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen on 30th October 2009. Black-red with off-white head. Thick, slightly smoky and sour. Burnt malts, some citrus fruitiness and just a hint of salt and smoked sausage before a strong burnt dry finish on a thick, filling and satisfying mouthfeel.

Cask-conditioned at the Cross Hands, Winterbourne Down, S Gloucestershire 27/10/09. Dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma of caramel, milk chocolate and a hint of roasted malts. Flavour was sweet, with fruit, liquorice, more roastiness, and a dry finish with some lactose. Good.

I went to Aikmans Cellar bar in St Andrews to see if they had got some good cask ales for the up-coming Halloween fest and Bonfire Night. I was not disappointed. After a half of this one, I continued with witch’s cauldron. Witchfinder Porter poured a rather thin brownish, lacing head over a shining mahogany body. Smell of roasted dark malts with fruity hints. Taste of chocolate malts and roasted grain countered by a brief peppery, bitter finish. Smooth in the mouth. [30.10.2008].

Cask at Kittys, Helsinki, on 2008-11-24. Deep dark brown and clear. Long lasting white medium sized head with small bubbles. Roasty mild nose. Full bodied dry palate with little carbonation. Roastedness, liquorice, bitterness, bit too much of burnt flavour, some coffee and little bit of saltiness in taste. Roasty and bitter aftertaste.

From cask at Charlies. Pours dark brown to black with a small, diminished and tan head. Light roasted malty aroma with a mild spice note. Roasted malty flavoured with a mild spice note. Lingering roasted malty into the finish. Smooth and slight spiced finish.

Cask handpull at the Dewdrop, Eastbourne. Vinegary porter, not in great nick. No condition. Some liquorice. AndrewC and I had to leave our half pints.

(Bottle 50 cl) Deep brown - but not black - with a tint of red. Small, reddish brown head. Rather light-bodied. Roasted coffeeish notes with a hint of licorice. Dry finish. 301102

A red-brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is of tobacco and chocolate, while the flavor is of caramel, malt, and roasted malt leading to a dry end. But the body is thin, for the style and the ABV.
