Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Near black with small beige head. It's quite roasty with the dark chocolate and vanilla coming though mid way. There is a chalkiness to it. Moderately sweet. Decent.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 11th March 2023, Crown Inn, Oakengates. Almost black with a beige topping. Nice, easy going Porter with a mini-sweetness within the roasted malty nose and taste, chocolate and vanilla giving the sweetness!

Handpull cask at the Ploughman, Werrington, Peterborough. Dark brown and quite translucent with a ring of khaki head. Chocolate and a little espresso on the aroma. Taste is sweet, and more I'm getting more liquorice than anything else. Loads of in fact... which is fine although different from the description. A touch of almost tannic bitterness on the finish. Soft carbonation. A decent beer.

Colne Beer Festival 2023. Near black with a no head, but might be a festival thing. A bit thin in texture but has quite a lot of chocolate evident in both aroma and taste.
