Bottle from the sister-in-law. Aroma mixes coffee, berries and creosote, but not particularly string. on pouring it looks thin and cola down but once in the glass it takes on a more dark appearance. Thin creamy beige head. Light-medium bitter with asour edge Berries and liquorice. Some hints if sweetness in the finish. Light bodies. On the thin side but does have some slickness. Low key fizzy carbonation. Abrupt finish, a touch astringent. Not the worst porter I've had, not the best. It's not bland. Just underpowered, not quite a well oiled machine.

Christmas present from my sister-in-law who's a local. Pine, citrus and resin aroma. Cloudy (or murky) pale gold. Bubbly washing up liquid translucent white head. A load of yeast floating around. Light-medium bitter with some citrus sourness. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Abrupt finish. Not too shoddy. A tad basic but it does have a hoppy quality that a lot of Session IPAs lack.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at London Beer Lab. Pours mostly clear honey-orange-gold with a frothy, off-white head. Overall, it's a bit amateurish, with overarching bready malts, some phenolic off notes, ripening citrus, mild minerality, orange peel. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. More sweet pale malts in the finish, some moist hay, grass, more citrus peel. Quite basic.

Bottle at the Catford Bridge Tavern. It pours darkest brown with a thick beige head. The aroma is milk chocolate, horlicks, maltesers, toasty malt, toasted nut and snickers. The taste is rich roasted malt, some bitterness, milk chocolate, dark fruits, plum, date, prune, salted caramel and cola with a toasty finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Decent porter.

Bottle from the resurrected Catford Beer Festival, Catford Bridge Tavern, Catford. Drank at home. Amber pour with a white head. Aromas of barley sugar, lemon, lime, hint of spice. Similar action in the flavour. Bitter kick in the finish. Not bad.
