Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 15/10/22. Near black in colour with a slight, off-white, head. Plain chocolate throughout, a touch of sweetness, some vanilla oak, before a rich, malty, finish. Enjoyable.

Half-pint, cask, festival ale at The Sir John Arderne (JDW). Off-white, patchy head blanketing the glass, black body. Inviting smell of roasted dark chocolate malts. Black chocolate flavours followed by a backdrop of coffee towards the ending. Sweet malty end, slightly roasted. Mild creamy palate. Pretty good after breakfast. (Newark 14.10.2022).

Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Wetherspoon 2022 Autumn Beer Festival Ale. Dark mahogany with a glow and a creamy head. Fairly robust tasting for its strength, but easy enough in the palate for it at the same time. Light chocolate notes compliment bready malts. Not a typical porter taste but still a very worthwhile seasonal effort.

Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. The aroma is mainly roasted maltd. In the mouth it ias quite smooth with malts and plenty of chocolate. Some underlying hints of coffee too, though these are soon replaced by liquorice. Finish is slightly dry. This a nicev – a solid decent porter.

Mørk amber. Litt lacing. Lavt skum med litt farge. Aroma av karamell & sjokolade. Smaken det samme. Lett kirsebærpreget. Tørr, lett bitter avslutning.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A dark reddish chestnut pour with a tight cream head; cocoa powder aroma; smooth and chocolatey in the mouth with a thin dry body; and a cocoa aftertaste.
