(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 28 Nov 2009) Dark amber colour with brief, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with orange, dried fruit and lots of fresh hops. Fruity, malty taste with notes of apricots, dried fruit and sweet malt giving way for orange peel and fresh, citrussy hops in the finish. More than medium body, fairly sweet, with a generous bitterness. Nice beer.

On tap at GBBF. Opaque black brown porter. Sharpish and sour. Mild coffee and roasted malt. Mild hoppy finish with a grapefruit aftertaste. A little to edgy to be great. 2.9

Bottle. Clear deep brown beer, untidy bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth and fairly dry with good fine carbonation. The dark malts are slightly roasty and carry a little dry coffee and mild cream. Trace of citric hop and then more obvious bitterness, but it’s never harsh. Finishes smooth and semi dry with bitterish dark chocolate lingering on. Decent.
