Cask (gravity dispense), White Cliffs Beer Festival, February 2005 Stunning beer of roasted malt and hops. Not really like any porter I have had before or since. The depth of the roasted malts, coffee and chocolate I thought were excellent

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A light brown beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet roasted with a bitter end, from some weird hop sort.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Simply called "Elgood’s Winter Warmer" at the festival, and the ABV was listed as 7.2%, not 7.5%, but I take it that this must be the same beer? No other winter warmer is mentioned at the brewery website. The brewery had kept a cask of this winter seasonal for the festival in May. Brown to mahogany colour, minimal carbonation, no head. Caramel, leather and dark fruits in the aroma. Warming mouthfeel, sweet but not cloying. Spices, dark fruits and treacle in the flavour. Hoppy finish. Not bad.

Cask conditioned at the Alexandra Hotel ("The Alex"), Derby. Very dark ruby colour, nearly black. Low thick head. Aroma of leather and roasted malts. Very smooth and drinkable with a well balanced roastiness. Coffee elements. A truly enjoyable dark mild!

Cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Mahogany colour. Appetizing, fruity cherry aroma. Dry with rounded mouthfeel, notes of tobacco. Some disturbing vegetables in the finish. Medium bitterness. This beer is like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Clear deep golden. Sweet, honeyish and fruity up front, followed by soft, rounded maltiness and a drier, resiny finish with good bitterness. Somewhat bold and unrefined, but still a more than decent pint.
