Cask at the Three Cups, Bedford. Reddish gold. Looks very thin - insipid really. A bit of natural carbonation fizzes at the top. Coffee, strong malt and a bit of cereal scent. Taste is quite nice: sweet malt with coffee and berry overtones. Bittersweet, slightly tannic finish. The body is indeed thin but it sits well with the overall structure of the beer. This is pretty good.

Cask at the Alehouse, Reading. Reddish copper with a tight cream head - not really looking like a Porter; aroma of floury grain and some red fruit; smooth in the mouth with some slightly sour plummy fruit; and a satisfying finish with a trace of chocolate malts.
