Аромат чисто Английского портера питкого. Весьма сильный жженый солод, немного черного шоколада но при этом зерна кофе есть хорошие, немного легких специй. Цвет темно коричневый. Пенка стоит долго весьма. Вкус уже хуже. Прежде всего слишком сильная горечь. Черный шоколад, и даже очень много но на фоне этого крутые зерна от кофе теряются. Послевкусие уже получше, много жженого солода. Есть даже намеки на патоку. В целом норм портер но больше не возьму.

Dark amber in color with a small head. Aroma is fruitcake, spice and winter fruits. Taste is fruitcake and hops.

Pulled out of my cellar. Dayed 2012. Dark brown no head. Aroma is nasty funky. Taste is like a bad Brett. Must of been too old. Kind of nasty.

Bottle at home. Great lacing in the tankard and a rich malt aroma. The taste is well balanced malt and bitter hops with a remarkable mouthfeel. Almost a winey/port flavour going on.

Bottle from LCB. Pours a reddish brown with small beige top. Aroma and of sweet malt with caramel, wood, some mixed fruits; not bad. It's quite drying and light bodied but not overly thin for a low alcohol beer. By the finish you notice the lack of booze and almost has a kvass quality to it although not overly sweet in taste.

Unusual sized 275ml bottle from LCB, well in date. Clear gold, small white rather fizzy head, some retention. Aroma has some lemon, straw, light flora, basic malts. Taste has light floral and citric hops with a sweet honey flavour which elevates it. A crisp modest bitter bite also. Light bodied with some slickness. From the look and aroma I was expecting this to be dull as dishwater but to be fair its not bad at all. Tasty light gold if a touch basic.

Bottle from brewery shop. I had to have this when I saw it advertised. The best classic ale brewery in Sussex, the best brewery in East Sussex and the best non-lambic brewery in Brussels working together - awesome collaboration. Let's see. Floral, elderflower aroma. Some pub lager notes. Flat gold look. Taste is a bit hard to describe and odd final profile that is very bitter in a cloying way. Not really sure how to describe this but disappointing it must be said...
