Black beer, beige head with a light malty, chocolate aroma. Flavour is sweet, malty chocolate, a touch of fruit. A bit of tangy fruit in the aftertaste. Very pleasant.

Cask at Sawn. Farnborough. 06/04/17. Got nil aroma, but that part was being hampered by a colleague’s fag smoke! Glossy appearance. A dark cola brown. Creamy if not overly thick beige head. Surprisingly sweet. Caramel, sugary. Fruity. A hint of bitterness. Watery. Soft carbonation. Slick. A sour aftertaste. OK but I found it to be too sweet for my tastes and certainly for a porter. More like a mild, perhaps.

Flat and warm…hard to say that this was inviting and good. Hard to give a decent rating also.
Golden color with a white layer on top. Mild aroma. Medium body. Flat carbonation. Tad sweet and a mild bitterness. Malty and herbal flavor.
