Hand-pulled half-pint in The Royal Oak, Ellerdine Heath, a village pub in Shropshire. Lovely dark body, like a black hole really! The head was a deep blanket of creamy foam, tan in colour. The aroma and taste blended into one, a semi-sweet roasted maltiness oozed from the glass giving a mild chocolate and coffee feel to the nose and flavour. Very drinkable, almost smooth in nature with an oily, full body.

Cask@Market Porter, London. Ambery brown colour, small beige head. Aroma is nutty, caramelly, quite herbal with some grassy and floral notes. Flavour is rather similar aling with some mild toasted and slightly ashy notes.

Cask, gravity at Dudley Winter Ales Festival Sat 26th November 2011 with Bob Dark brown in appearance some roastiness. This is a little woody and with a sort of Oxo© stock cube flavour going on, bit thin in the mouth, strange. Nothing wrong with it but it is not really my thing. A6 A3 T5 P2 Ov11 2.7

Cask (gravity) @ Smithfield Hotel, Manchester, England. @ [ RBESG 09 ]. Probably the best cask from Smithfield even though it was from a cellar run. Dark borwn with medium off-white head. Roasted malt, some coffee and caramel. Only slightly bitter.
