Bottle: Hazy, chestnut coloured, smaller fluffy off-white head, slowly diminishing; dryish fruity and toasted-malty nose, soft MF, quite light-bodied, mainly moderate bitter flavour with a light sweetness; dryish bitter finish with notes of cacao or coffeee. A light, likeable Porter, pleasant.......

(bottle) Cloudy, murky brown colour with a short, off-white foamy layer. Moderately sweet and light acidic-fruity aroma of roasted malt, caramel and liquorice with woody hops in the background. Bitter flavour with a light liquorice sweetness, a bit slim bodied mouthfeel with a soft carbonation. Dry-ish, slightly toasted and bitter finish with a subtle coffee-ish and woody hoppy touch. A bit slim but nevertheless pretty likeable brew. More like an English Ale than a Porter.

Dark brown color, beige head. Malt aroma and taste, some rosted malt taste; yeast. Maybe it’s ok as a Porter, anyway not impressive.

A brown beer with a light brown head - the color is too light for the style. The flavor is sour hoppy, with some roasted notes. The flavor is roasted grain and a the body is watery. A disappointment compared to some of the other beers in the historical line from Pitfield.

Thin yellowish head, fast gone; colour of Coca Cola. Sweet chocolate and a dash of coffee or moccha; just a bit vinous. Sourish, burnt grain , carbonised taste. Lactic acid, lactose or even milk powder. Finish is very coffeeish, even a bit bitter. Thinnish MF, very slight acid burn. Thinnish porter - but I’m tempted to think it convincing, having read an article on how Entire lead to porter - this is probably consistent with what Wheeler called stale beer for blending. But it’s not really great.
