Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Clear deep red - brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and dry. Very modest carbonation. Light touch of dark malts that bring modest smooth roast with whispers of coffee and dark chocolate. Subtle smoke. Light dry finish, slightly tangy. Not bad.

Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Clear deep amber beer, small tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Modest carbonation. Smooth tangy malts - brown malts. Tangy dried fruits, whisper of dry malt cream. Very light touch of smoke and bubblegum esters. Dry finish. Tasty enough and pretty drinkable but again, could be livelier in the palate.

Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Clear amber beer, tidy white head. Very modest carbonation in the otherwise neutral palate. Light floral caramel and semi sweet tangy dried fruits. Finishes semi dry. Tasty and clean but could do with some more life.

Cask at Craft Clerko, 10/03/14. Light black with a good sized tan covering. Nose carries a good roasted malt blast, cocoa, dark berry fruit pangs. Taste comprises roast malt, earthy tones, dark toffee, cocoa powder, dark berry fruit, light tobacco notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, smooth on the palate, semi drying finale. A solid porter.

Cask at The Craft Co. Clerkenwell. Deep clear amber color, small beige head. Light smokeyness and dark fruits in the nose. Light-bodied. Dark fruits, wet wood and light earthy hoppyness in the flavor. A bit more low-key than expected, but balanced beer.

Cask @ The Rake. Pours clear gold with some bold mango, peach and orange juice and a solid bitterness. Very nice and didn’t last long at all.
