Small beige head. Deep dark brown body with light carbonation. Faint sugary aroma. Dryish-sweet papery roasty taste with fruity notes. Very mild and smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish roasty resiny aftertaste with wooden notes. Very low on taste, but not bad. Perhaps a little too sweet and not sufficiently bitter. (0.25l cask, The Blue Blazer, Edinburgh.)

Reddish-brown body, off-white creamy head, vanilla flavor, smooth finish. Not so strong on the palate. Commendable.

Cask at Bow. Deep brown color, lovely toffee and milk chocolate character. Smooth mouth. Malty, a touch sweet. Excellent English dark ale.

Draught at the "Taste of Edinburgh" festival. Treacly brown colour with a cream head; smooth and malty in the "heavy" style; sweet and nutty with a touch of bitterness; easy to drink and satisfying.

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 29/01/09. Reddish-amber with next to no head. Malty aroma, with some fruit and a slight hint of smoke. Flavour had some sweet malt, red fruit and a short bitter finish. An enjoyable change from English bitters.

Cask, half pint. Mahogany body under a low, off-white head. Nice laceworks. Weak aroma of fruitlike malts. Plain malty initial taste, becoming more fruity and bitter towards the ending. Medium bodied. A wonderful experience sitting at the old island bar and gantry at Abbortsford in Edinburgh [25.10.2008].

From tap at Stockbridge Tap. Pours clear and golden deep amber to brown with a creamy and tan head. Mild roasted and maty aroma. Flavour too is mild roasted and mild malty with a smooth towards breadish roasted note. Mild spiced and malty roasted finish. Nice one.
