Cask gravity at Battersea BF 2007. Ruby colour. Diacetyl toffee/butter aroma. Some intense roast malt flavours later on. Too buttery for me.

Very small tan head over Coca-Cola coloured beer. Sesame oil and other exotic herbs (I’ve had sesame oilflavour in other beers - I wonder what it causes, special sugars? yeast?). Rest is mainly some miscellaneous malts. Again traces of sesame, with the classical roasted porter notes (bitter coffee and chicory), and soja, it makes this into a bitterish version of terriyaki sauce. This is unsettling! Ends in a bit stoutlike (burnt grain) sourish. Gives a filled impression, but rather light, watery in reality; deceptive grist- & carbonised slickness. Not my favourite porter, not by a long way!

Cask/gravity at Ipswich beer festival 21 Sep 2006. Dark brown coloured. Lightly roasted and fruity flavour. A nice bitterness emerges little by little. A bit watery overall impression.

A dark brown beer with a nice creamy brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of toffee, chocolate, and roasted malt - lovely. The flavor is smooth sweet with a nice mixture of dark malts, roasted bread, chocolate, slight coffee, turning almost burnt in the end. This is one heck of a light (4,8% ABV) Porter - I love it.
