Cask at GBBF'23, day two, 02/08/23. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a beige cap that retains well. Nose is chocolate, dark malts, light charr, toffee crisp. Taste comprises mellow roast, chocolate biscuit, dried fruit rinds, brown bread. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Okay porter ... smells good but comes over a touch thin in the execution.

Stockport Beer Festival 2023. Dark hazy amber but as its notes suggest it does taste like a porter, and is very easy drinking within this style. There's roasted notes, which are best in its aroma and aftertaste.

Cask @ Jack In The Box, Manchester. Very dark clear amber-gold with a thin head. Has light roasted malt notes in its nose, which in taste are even lighter so not very stated - there's some sweetness to what is there though. Its porter style is perhaps best in its aftertaste.
