Cask at Craft Islington, 21/02/13. Hazed mahogony brown with a medium tan head that retains well. Nose is dark malt, dark fruits, raisens, light spice, cardboard. Taste comprises dark malts, dark fruits, papery, biscuit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry in the finish. Pretty average fayre - seems to hold as many ESB like qualities as it does porter - bit of a mish mash, not one to return to.
