Cask@The Castle, London (I had written down Redcar Best Btiter 3.9%...). Amber colour, mediumsized off-shite foamy head. Aroma is wood, sourness and mild grassyness. Flavour is quite much the same with a nice grassy bitter finish.

Cask at the Carousel Lounge, Hythe, Kent. Chestnut brown with a foamy white head; sour autumn fruit aroma; fruity malt flavours, again slightly sour; the finish is slow to develop and tartly bitter. A pleasing bitter.

Pours with an exceptionally dark brown body with a largish, creamy light brown head that leaves good lacing. Light coffee ground and vanilla aroma. Taste is light coffee grounds, smoke and nuts. Sharp bubbles with a creamy mouthfeel.

One of the better porters I have had in some time. Brown with a red hue. Roasted malt and some lactose. Flavor has more roasted malt, red wine, and a little smoke.

Bottle, 5.5%. Clear colour, very dark brown. Small frothy head. Good roasted flavour, a little sweet. Gets a little sour in the finish, but that is quite refreshing. A little light chocolate notes.
