Gravity cask at the 31st Ealing Beer Festival, Walpole Park, 15/07/22. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent tan covering. Nose is bitter sweet fruits, toffee, cocoa powder. Taste comprises toffee, charr, mellow roast, dried fruit rinds. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light drying close. Decent enough porter.

Bottle from Garson Farm Shop. Pretty sure this had a perhaps short-livid original release as a Porter... the name being a clue. Aroma had creamy mocha, with some roast and a hint of dark berries. It's black if thin of appearance. Bubbly beige head soon dissappear almost entirely. Light bitter. Coal. A sour berry edge then appears. A vague creamy presence. So restrained it's almost catatonic. Light-medium bodied. Milky more than creamy. Skimmed. Flat carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Really quite boring if not minging.

Third, gravicask, shared with Finn at Twickenham Beer and Cider Festival. Patchy fawn-coloured head, scattered lacing, black body. Doughy, mid-sweet malty nose. Chocolate malty taste on a backbone of lactose. Rather sweet malty ending. Accepted. (24.10.2019).
