Cask ale, half pint at the Winter Ales Festival at the New Oxford pub in Salford. Mahogany coloured body with a deep ruby shade. Lacing rings down the glassware. Inviting aroma of earthy malts added by liquorice. The taste profile is a nice mix of dark fruits, aniseed and mid-sweet, dark chocolate malt. Dry fruity ending. Soft in the mouth. Pleasant (Greater Manchester, 27.01.2013).

Some hints of fruit, but no real scotch or malt whiskey taste to it whatsoever.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Clear dark brown beer. Residual pale tan head. Mild toffee malts, tasting fresh with a little lacto, but dry. Nutty as well. Trace of marmalade hops. Very dry finish. Okay.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol October 2011. Dark brown with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, berry fruit and milk chocolate aroma. Flavour had caramel, more fruit and chocolate and a dry, slightly roast finish. Good.

Cask @ The Muckle Cross, Elgin
Very dark ruby, clear, thin frothy white head.
Aroma of caramel malts, some roasted malts, molasses, fruity notes, no hops.
Taste of dark caramel malts, some chocolate, some roasted malt, hint of coffee, fruity, quite sweet, porter qualities - can’t taste the hops here, bit watery.
Palate - Quite sweet, smooth, abrupt light sweet malty finish with a slight lingering hint of chocolate, soft carb, thinnish body.
Overall - Easy drinking light porter (or slightly strong mild), but taste dulls after a while.

[Cask at the Monk’s Retreat (JDW), Reading] Dark brown with a cream head. Smooth, sweet and comforting, with a restrained roastiness, chocolate and caramel throughout. Very mellow, one to slowly melt into and relax.
