Cask at GBBF 2006. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is quite light with notes of malt and nuts. The flavor is sweet and very powerful with notes of caramel, and honey as well as light notes of yeast. The mouthfeel is thick. It reminds me more of a Belgian Brune than a Porter, but anyways quite nice.
