Cask @ Bank, Manchester. Nicholson’s Beer Festival. Golden with a creamy head. It’s tropical fruit hopped although has a greater taste than aroma in this respect, with zesty orange more than evident.

Cask at The Bow Bar. Pours black as midnight on a moonless night. Tight brown head. Massive coffee and liquorice nose, some charcoal. taste - it’s a chewy fella and no mistake! Not one for 5.30pm on an empty stomach... Still... big liquorice and roast coffee, dark chocolate bitter like an old flame gone to pot. And you’re still doing all right, aren’t you? Damn straight. Don’t need you back in my life.

Cask @ the brewpub. Very dark, aroma is roast, rich dark sugars like intense muscovado and okinawan black, and maybe a little bit of fruit. Light body is slightly oily, with molassesy character and a bit of barrel char. Complex, flavoursome porter that surely ranks as one of the best in Britain.

Rich amber colour, aroma is quite earthy, mellow malty character with subtle toasty notes and rich caramels, drinks very nicely.
