(On tap) Good looking beer - black with big tan head. Aroma is toasty and slightly smoky. Medium body, smooth creamy. Nice mouthfeel. Taste is good. Nice balance of sweet, sour and bitter. There's a dark toffee backbone. Some slightly smiley burnt hints and a bit of gentle fruity tartness. Good Porter.

(On tap) Pours clear gold with goo white head. Nice aroma - citrus and pine over biscuit background. Light body, well carbonated. Taste is biscuity malt and peppery spice up front, then gets rather thin with a little kick of bitterness in finish. Ok

Pint on tap at brewery. Light cocoa nose. Dark dark brown beer with solid thin head. Nice lacing. Smooth velvet texture, full-bodied. Sweet caramel taste. Finish is short burnt caramel. Not my favourite style but nice and solid beer nevertheless.

Pint on tap at brewery. Golden bronze colour with solid foamy white head. Looks fantastic. The occasional bubble ascends. Light aroma of oranges and malt. Slight zing, lightly bitter taste. Finish is more bitter with touches of orange zest over some biscuity malt. Excellent, well balanced and quaffable.
