Cask @ The Grove, Huddersfield. Crisp, darker reddish-brown in colour, with an extremely thin head. Has a light roasted malt sweetness, more noticeable in its nose than taste.

Cask, Beamish Mary, No Place, Co Durham. Very dark brown, near enough black with a thin biege head. Aroma was sweetish with roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Flavour was something similar. Solid and drinkable, but a little diappointing overall.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Very dark brown, bubbly beige head. Choccy porter aroma, little thin in mouth. A little watery, where are they malts? OK hop on finish. Just too watery.
