From cask at Euston Tap. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small, creamy and white head. Aroma is floral, ginger, chili and vegetable like. Soapy, ginger, distinct fruity chili. Fruity, light sweet and with little bite. Soapy and herbal finish. Wellmade and very very different.

Cask@Southampton Arms (said "Winter Dark Ale" in small print beneath the Porter). Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruits, roasted malts, some ashes as well as mild floral hoppyness. Flavour is rather similar in a nice balance. Old school porter meets some rather hoppy stuff.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, London, 24 Nov 2011) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of freshly ground coffee, toasty malt and crisp-bread. Roasted, malty taste with crisp-bread, coffee, dark fruit, roasted malt and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with just a touch of sweetness. Nice and tasty porter.
