Cask at the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Ruby/dark brown, very translucent with a small to medium tan head. Some roasty notes, chocolate, nutty aroma. Slight astringency. Taste is bittersweet initially, then quite sweet with a sulphurous note. More chocolate and some coffee in the long finish along with some acrid notes. Lively natural carbonation on the mouth. Not the best porter in the world.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Ruby brown pour with a fine, creamy head. Mild roast aroma with sugary malts. Some dark malts and sugar start flavor, faintly roasty, light cocoa. Light to medium in body with delicate carbonation. Weak roast finish with some herbal hops. Quite drinkable but very one-dimensional.

From keg at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich 4 May 08. Dark brown colored. No head. Modest aroma of chocolate and coffee. Watery impression but hoppy notes. Too light to be a proper porter. Hardly any bitterness.
