Cask as Grain Oak Aged Porter. A black beer with a brown shine with no head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, bread, alcohol, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol and roasted malt as well as lighter notes of wood, leading to a dry, roasted, and alcoholic finish.

Cask gravity at Colchester BF 2011. Mid gold with thin white head. Butter and caramel on aroma. I was fearing diacetyl and although there is some butter it works ok. In fact its a decent session bitter. Some soft bitterness on the finish. Fine. Some decent caramel flavours.
