Dark brown opaque beer. Tidy pale tan head. Light palate, a little soft and a little dry. Very tangy porter, almost sour. Trace of coffee. Tart fruits with raspberry and cherry. Finishes with dark malt, molasses and a trace of dark chocolate. Very tangy porter!

Cloudy red beer with a small pink head! Light dry palate. Fresh raspberry, tasting natural and not too acid. Finishes dry. Nice fruit but it’s one dimensional.

ChrisO ’Night Of The Gaylords’ tasting. Cloudy dark brown beer. A little blackcurrant in the malty nose. Unsweet chocolate and malt. Something chemical as well. Doesn’t hang together. Not nice!

From a 330ml bottle on 12/4/2012. Pours a fairly clear light golden with a small head. Has a light fruity, slightly yeasty aroma. The flavour is quite sweet, with quite a bit of fruit, particularly apple. There’s also some bready malt, a very modest hop presence, and some slight vinous notes at the back. The palate is a bit watery. Overall, somewhat disappointing and lacking in character.
