Facers North Star Porter Cask @ Cask, Manchester. A very dark clear red in colour with a thin creamy head. Quite smooth, with tasty smooth malts throughout its character, and hardly any roasted ones at all.

GBBF Cask. Very dark brown beer, clear. Light softish palate, a little dry. Very light malt with a whisper of toast. Very light everything porter. Bit too much so.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/11/10. Near black with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of milk chocolate, dark fruit with a touch of sweetness. Flavour had more chocolate, slightly sour lactose and some roasted malt in the finish. Enjoyable.
