1/2/2019. Cask at the XT Brewing tap takeover at the New Inn, Colchester. As XT 8 Porter (Summit, Brambling Cross), same abv looks to be a rebadge of this. Pours mid to dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, hops and dark fruit with moderate roasting. Moderate sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness, and body. Oily texture, very soft carbonation. It's not really a brown ale but then it's a slight stretch to call it a porter too.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark gold and clear with an uneven ring of white head. Toffee, honey and dried grass in the satisfying aroma. Sweet taste with more than a touch of bitterness in the finish. Honey and buttered toast in the aftertaste. A good ampunt of natural carbonation in the body. Pretty decent.
