Bottle. Black beer, lively head though that pretty much immediately fizzes out and it LOOKS a bit flat. Smells a lot better with loads of vanilla and chocolate. Tastes nice too, the vanilla gives it an almost marshmallowy flavour up front like Stay Puft (Tiny Rebel) or similar, though it ends up tasting a lot more malt-heavy. Rich and toasty with the chocolate coming through in the flavour as well. Dry, bitter finish. It's unspectacular but perfectly drinkable.

Can from ASDA, Keighley. Dark reddish-brown with a small head. Sweetened, almost silky smooth porter, stated in its style with mild floral-roasted malts in its nose, and steadier ones in its taste.

Can from ASDA Supermarket, Keighley. Golden with a creamy-frothy head. Drinkable but rather ordinarily hoppy pale ale with a low bitterness factor.

Bottle, courtesy of Totnes. The person, not the place. As Baytown Squire’s Connivance. Dark, cola brown. Barely a head. Nose has earthy malts. Sweet coffee. A little ashy. Taste is fairly sweet. Some roast malt bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Light bittersweet finish. Ok, although probably a lot better on cask.
