Cask at CP&K Brighton. It pours very dark brown, with a small off-white head. The nose is toast, roasted malt, burnt tire and a hint of caramel. The taste is caramel, cola, toffee, roasted malt, charcoal, liquorice and coffee, with a dry, bitter-sweet finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A good, flavoursome cask porter.

Cask, handpump at Mr Foley’s, Leeds 18.03.12 in company of dad & Barry Pours mid gold with a slight haze and a white filmy head. Some hops show but they are a little dusty, there is a gentle sweetness, bit of lemon and with a slight zing but my overall impression was one of being slightly underwhelmed. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0
