30/10/2025. Cask at Norwich Beer Festival (Castle Social). Good pour. Aroma is roasted, malted, citrus, aniseed, white pepper. Taste is very peppery, moderately sweet with underlying roasted bitterness. Very smooth, light carbonation. Liquorice and a peppery tingle in the finish. Interesting drop, and really rather nice.

Cask handpull at Nelson Arms Tonbridge. Black beer lasting tan head. Chocolate and blackcurrant aroma. OK condition. Quite light in body. Some dryness on the finish. Quite juicy in mouth. As I say quite a light porter given the abv.
