Bottle at The Bodney Bordello, thanks to LKS. It pours hazy orange – amber with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, oily, brioche, candy, tangerine, peach. Gummy bears and marmalade. The taste is slick, sweet, sugary, oily, resinous, chewy malt, touch of spice, pine, pithy, zesty citrus, some gummy bears and alcohol warmth through the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Mouth – feel is a bit chewy. Not too bad for what it is.

Bottle (backlog 2014). Dark brown body with a small beige head. Lovely aroma of dark, roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Flavor is sweet and smooth roasted dark malt, chocolate, coffee, hint of red berries and good balanced bitterness. Fine balanced body, long lasting pleasant aftertaste and all over a very smooth and balanced, classic porter. Nice.

Cask-conditioned at the Grove, Ealing 1/1/2018. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Citrus hops, crisp malts, some tangerine and pineapple fruit leading to a lingering, dryish, finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at the last London Brewers' Market. Pours mostly clear deep orange-gold with a creamy topping. The nose holds grainy malts, ripening citrus, a little pine and earth. Light sweet flavour with some rindy bitterness, lots ofnpale grains, mellow astringency, some tea, leaves. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Somewhat astringent in the finish, with lightly toasted pale grains, more orange rind, earth, leafy hops. Pretty mediocre overall. Like a first-cut homebrew.

Bottle split at Leighton's gaff, with thanks to our host, 05/12/17. Hazed light golden amber with a decent beige cap. Nose is bitter orange, caramel, citric tinged straw, sweet exhaust, grains, light breads. Taste comprises bitter orange, toasted grains, mineral bite, bready, caramel, sticky Tropicana. Medium + body, fine carbonation, sweet close with a modest hop load. A mediocre old skool stab at this style.
