Bottle from ’Jacks’ Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at home Monday 26th May 2014 Pours very, very dark brown in fact more mahogany like, its v.dark, light filmy off-white head atop. Bit cold (my fault), really nutty, chocolatey but smooth. In fact a bit like a chocolate sponge cake. This is also quite soft in mouth, the carbonation is nice. Good A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4 .

500ml bottle. Cloudy red glowing mahagony colour with average, firm, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Toasted malt aroma with a nuttily touch, hints of toffee, slightly grassy and herbal hoppy overtones. Taste is minimally sweet malty with a nuttily touch, hints of toffee, dry hoppy overtones; a nice taste of roasted hazelnut remains in the finish. Resembles concerning colour, malt body, hopping and resulting taste more a Brown Ale than a Porter.

Bottle shared at CBC Islington with the fellas - London. Pours clear brown with a creamy tan head. Dry toasty brown bread nose, some burnt leaves. Light sweet flavor with more burnt brown bread toast, toasty leafy bitterness, dirt. Light bodied with fine to average, creamy carbonation. Moderate dry toasted bread to finish, more earthy leaves. Fine. Pretty inoffensive stuff overall.

Bottle, thanks to Leighton. It pours deep brown with a small white head. The nose is roasted malt, nut, salted caramel, chocolate, crisps and hint of malt vinegar. The taste is roasty, earth, toast, burnt caramel, coffee grinds and brown bread, with a very dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not bad.

GD/Cask at the 14th Egham Beer Festival at the EUSC, 28/03/13. Very dark mahogony brown with a good sized tan head. Nose is roast malt, molasses, light mineral whiff. Taste comprises dark malts, chocolate, nutty, toffee, brown sugars. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry and sweet in the finish. Fairly well balanced and drinkable - would entertain this one again!
