Cask at The Old Gaol House (JDW). Dark brown with a middling beige head. Chocolate and vanilla up front with some roastiness. Blackberry and licquorice emerging - really quite fruity. Rich, smooth mouthfeel & a slight oakiness in the finish. Very nice porter indeed - thoroughly enjoyed this.

Chelmsford Summer Beer Fest. Cask. Almost.opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts with a nice light touch of dark chocolate. Whisper of coffee. Touches of lactose and dark fruits. Light.dry finish. The chocolate saves this one from mediocrity.

Cask, from stillage, at the first beer festival at the Cannie Man, Bracknell. A pitch coloured pour with a loose white head; the aroma has some well roasted malts, giving traces of coffee and chocolate; the mouth feel is slightly thin, but thereโs an excellent balance of flavours, a treacly, demerara sugar sweetness is balanced by a dry toasted oat dryness; there are some leafy hops adding a touch of freshness, but the finish is predominantly malty, with some lingering sugars and toast. Very pleasant.

Gravity dispense at Windsor Locale festival - 22/07/12. Very dark brown to black in colour with a thin off white head. Roasted malt aroma allied to toffee and caramel, wood and a little pinch of coffee. Taste pretty much as nose. Decent body and feel to this beer - well constructed and not as watery as some porters coming out of the newer breweries. Good effort!
