Cask @ 3 Judges. Slightly hazy, dark golden colour, white head. Aroma is malty and sour. Flavour is malty, sour, metallic. Not pleasant. A bit disappointing, compared to the excellent made Talorcan.

Cask @ 3 Judges. Black colour, short brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and oats, hint of glue. Flavour of roasted malts, fruity, chocolate. Medium bodied. This is good stuff. Again cask @ 3 Judges. Long smooth roastiness. Very sessionable. One of the best drinkable porters I’ve had. +.4

Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks, Thames Tipple Leg 9 (Fins brucie bonus again) 13-03-10 This is golden in colour with just a very light smattering of hops on the nose. Loz quite correctly suggested that ’it really doesn’t taste of much does it’, I have to agree. There was a light fruitiness and some hops there but all in all a bit of a lightweight in the flavour department. A5 A3 F6 P3 Ov11 2.8
