Bottle at home ... Deep black with a nice head ... light roast malt ...quite sweet up front with lots of roast and some coffee .. a little odd flavour that i ant place that stops it being a great porter but its still pretty respectable.

[i] [b] Cask, at the Turf Tavern, Oxford 26-05-08 [/i][/b] Red brown in colour with a thin white head, a great solid fruity, malty beer that went down exceptionally well indeed.

Cask-conditioned at the Old Green Tree, Bath 18/5/08. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Fruity malt aroma with a touch of earthy hops. Flavour had more malt, with an enjoyable dusted chocolate edge and a decent bitter finish. Drinkable.

Cask. Deep amber colour with minor beigeish head. Aroma is malts, some grains and mild hopping. Flavour is grassyness, some flowery hops and quite bitter. Mouthdrying.

Cask@Kitty’s, Helsinki
Copper brown color, small off-white head. Light, sweet aroma. Flavor is interesting combination of honey, ash and nutty malts. Ashy hops in the short aftertaste. Strange brew.

Copper-amber color, decent white head. Nutty-oaky nose. Dry woody flavor. Weak palate. Kind of herbal bitter, not pleasant.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 28/9/07. Dark brown with a decent tan head that left plenty of lacing. Aroma of chocolate and dark fruit. Flavour had plenty of malt, chocolate and a slightly roasted edge. Good.

Cask at Royal Oak, Fritham, Hampshire. Deep brownish amber. Resiny hoppy nose. Medium dry with clean, rounded mouthfeel and light-medium body. Salty and lightly soapy with long heavily salty bitterish finish. A solid bitter.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear. Reddish chestnut colour with bubbly beige head. Nutty/toffee aroma. Crackers on aroma too. Bit of candy sugar and more nuts in the mouth. End could do with a bit more flavour. No great hop presence. Fine.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 31 July) Colour is dark amber with frothu head. Nose is malty and nutty with notes of dried fruit (prunes). Taste is malty, nutty with notes of dried fruit (arpicots, prunes) and a long bitter finish with a well balanced hoppy character. Nothing fancy, but very nice.
