Bottle from home from Waitrose picked up by the lovely Sarah. Clear golden coloured pour with a loose sticky white head. Aroma is earthy hay, sweet careml , some diacetyl maybe. English yeast on the nose as well. Flavour is medium sweet, caramel, damp hay. Dfinitey a little diacetyl, but not too offensive. Medium palate, some sweetness, moderate carbonation and some grain tanin.

Bottle at home split with Sarah. As Paker’s Piece 5.0%. Clearly not a porter. Medium amber clear coloured pour with a thin lasting off white head. Aroma is toffee sweet, unrefined sugars, rum and raisin. Flavour is composed of, caramel, toffee, with earthy grassy bitterness. Some raisin and dried fruits, possible yeast derived. Palate is sem-sweet, slightly chalky on the toungue. This is definately not a porter. I would say ESB.

Bottle @ Cambridge Wine Merchants, Cambridge. Straw-blond with a very thin head. Has plenty of tropical fruit hops and is well-stated in both aroma and taste although feels a touch thin in its texture.

Bottle from the brewery (I believe). Poured a hazy amber with a thin, white head. Aroma of floral hops, hay and synthetic fruit. Very bitter initial flavours; metallic with some dry straw. Finish was astringent with copper and bitter hop resin. I could not recommend.
