Cask at white horse. It pours black with a small beige head. The nose is roasted malt, light smoke, rubber, bonfire and liquorice. The taste is wood, earth, roasted malt, tangy dark fruit, berry, toast, charcoal and coffee grinds with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Rather tasty and well-rounded.

Cask at the Falcon, Clapham Junction - 25/10/12. Mid black in appearance with a medium tan head. Roasty malts on the nose with a trace of coffee. Tastes of dark roast malts, coffee, chocolate, liqourice and a touch of leather. Medium bodied, light carbonation lending towards a dry finish. Decent cask porter.
