Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - murky brown and massive lively head. Nose - sherbet and pine. Bready. Taste - more bread with sherbet edge to me. Vinegar at the death. Palate - light to medium bodied. Tangy. Yeast issue. Overall - possible wild yeast infection or continued fermentation in the bottle.

Tight frothy beige head stayed well on a near black still body. Roast & malt aroma. Medium to thin bodied, airy on the palate, clean & dry on the back. Big roasted flavours with nut, malt, berry & bitter tangy citrus finish.

25/1/2019. Cask at the 10th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Pours hazy dark golden / amber with a bubbly / frothy off-white head. Aroma of hops, malt, citrus, caramel, light tropical fruit, light pine and biscuit. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Slight dry, fruity, biscuit finish. Decent brew.

25/1/2019. Cask at the 10th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Pours clear dark brown with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of coffee, boiled veg and sugars. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, watery texture, soft to flat carbonation. Very disappointing, from a generally higher quality brewer.

Bottle from Sir Toby's, Norwich. Black with a huge light tan head and rather a strong fizz for the style. Coffee and chocolate against a fruity background of blackcurrant and dates with a touch of fresh leafy hop. Smooth and full-bodied for the low abv. Mildly roasted finish that balances the semi-sweet beer well. Very nice porter, could maybe just reduce the fizz a tad.

On tap at Hop Stuff Tap room Ashford. Hazy cloudy red deep and brown. Lasting beige head. A bit earthy on aroma. Yes better in mouth with some OK malts some red jammy strawberry fruit. Moderate bitterness on the finish. Decent in mouth if a little earthy up front.
