On cask at Mr Grundy’s Derby - a deep red body, short white head. A heavy fruit nose, yes plums, and a bit smoky. Very dry, long finish.

Cask at The Harp, London. Very dark reddish brown colour, low beige head. Moderate aroma, notes of lightly roasted malts, hints of mild coffee, some vinous notes. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour has notes of moderately roasted malts and mild coffee, not very sweet.

Warning! Early amateur rating! A light porter with a subtle hint of fruit. Drinkable. Perhaps a bit more fruit would have been good.

Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet, light light acidic and moderate to heavy bitter with a average to long duration, chlorine. Initial the flavor is not as good as the finish flavor is.

Cask. Pours a hazy orangey brown with no head whatsoever. Lightly sweet fruity aroma, rather distinct notes of the damson. Medium body, hard roasted malts, fruity with a moldy touch. Dry finish. 160110

Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Attractive damson red colour with a trace of white head that left elegant lacing on the glass; sweet and fruity aroma; sweet and fruity flavour - but not obviously damson - rich roasted malts give a chewy body; the finish is sweet from teh fruit and dry from the malts giving an interesting contrast. Very drinkable, but as a damson fan I expected much more.

Cask-conditioned at the Cornubia, Bristol 23/06/09. Deep brown in colour with next to no head. A bit of sweet fruit and chocolate upfront, followed by tart plum fruit. Forgettable.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity Merton Winter Beer Festival, Friday February 17th 2006 restrospectively added from notes [/i] [/b] Dark brown pour little or no head. Some sour fruitiness (probably the damsons)was expecting a bit of cloying sweetness but there wasn’t much at all, a bit tangy, sourness returns again along with a bitterness at the fringes, its ok.
