2/6/2022. Cask at the 35th Colchester Real Ale & Cider Festival. Pours clear dark golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, malt, dried fruits, hint of syrup. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness and body. Slightly oily. watery, soft carbonation. Nice fruity finish. Lacked some body but not bad.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is vaguely floral hops. In the mouth it starts off sweet, but soon there is a sharpness of summer fruits. Texture is creamy with some hints of yeast and caramel. This is rather strange โ but itโs OK.

Cask at Ferry Boat, Runcorn. Pours a dark burgundy with a small cream head and good lacing. Malts are in the nose, plus some lactose. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with dark fruits and toasty malts being the main flavours. Some traces of chocolate and toffee as well. Finish is slightly sweet. This is a decent enough porter.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading at 5.2% ABV.] A bright copper coloured pour with a thin cream head; seemingly lacking any aroma; syrupy in the mouth with lots of sugar and a grainy body; then a sour grainy finish with a trace of orange. Disappointing.
