Cask. Or was it? Came out in one continuous pour. I asked if it was a nitro pour but the bartender didn’t know what I was on about. Oh well. Clear dark brown. Tight off white head. Creamy chocolate and hints of coffee. Nice depth of roast malt. Bittersweet. Smooth and easy drinking. Best beer here by far out of the three I had.

Cask at the Flask Inn, Robinn Hood's Bay, Whitby. Black pour with a beige head. Nose of coffee, dark chocolate, light smoke. Flavours of coffee, lots more dark chocolate, liquorice. Nice.

Cask at the Brewery Tap. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of buttery oat biscuits and chocolate. Taste is toffee and chocolate, light hazelnut. Creamy texture, light bitter finish.

I’m a bit surprised to be the first to rate this (and cannot help feeling a bit proud of it, thanks to Craftmember for bringing the bottle from Whitby)... This is a gentle smoked porter, with a thin, pale beige, opening head and very deep ruby red colour, less dark than I am used to from porters, clear. Aroma has smokiness and subtle roastedness, smoked bacon, coffee grounds, raisins, nutmeg, sweet tobacco, meat broth, apple peel. Soft sourishness opens the palate, along with a very subtle, aromatic, almost vanilla-like sweetishness, medium carbonation, velvety and soft mouthfeel, slick, with a medium deep nutty maltiness, the unmistakable smokiness, a gentle and restrained roasted bitterness and dry and quite long finish with leafy hop bitterness, a bit oily. Highly enjoyable if you’re into smoked beers, reminded me of a small and subtle, ’downtuned’ version of Alaskan Smoked Porter.
