Ink black body over a very low head. Lack of aroma. Some caramelisation flavour the beer. Medium bodied, but still a watery impression (Half on cask at The King’s Arms in Norwich 24.09.2006).

Attractive mahogany in colour. Missing head. Thin malty to the nose. Complex spicy flavour with notes of malt and dark fruit. Medium palate. Alright, but not really my kind of beer (Half pint on cask at the cosy and local King’s Arms in Norwich 24.09.2006).

Bottle from Morrisons, Banbury 31-08-06. Brown coloured beer with a decent white head that once again say’s more about the pourer than how the beer would usually present no doubt. This is quite malty and also quite nutty in flavour, whilst not outstanding by any stretch I rather liked this.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 30 July) Colour is black with some ruby notes when seen through light, frothy beige head. Nose is roasted with chocolate, tobacco and wet ashes, a bit modest actually. Taste is roasted with chocolate and tobacco, some citrus as well. Some sweetness but mainly dry. Balanced bitterness in the finish. Medium body. Not very complex, but a nice porter. A long time ago the first cask conditioned porter I ever tasted was Salem Porter, which really was a revelation for me, so I still retain fond feelings about this beer.
