(Bottle 50 cl) Comes as Branded Coal Fire Porter at 4.6% ABV. Clear, almost black with a reddish hue and an off-white head. Lightly vinous aroma with some burned malt. Fairly light in body with burned and smoked (peat/whisky) malty accents and a vague bitterness in the finish. A very pleasant example of an English Porter. 120507 and 210908

Cask at The Red Lion, Cricklade 09-06-07 Wiltshire. Poured amber colour with reddy hues. I tended to note more malt than fragrant floral aroma, then it was more malt vinegar as Butch our bus driver sat near me drowned his chips in the stuff. This was a tasty beer with good bitterness and some nice toffee undecurrents but not for the first time today was one of many beers that were far too safe and a bit boring.

Cask at The Cricketers, Keighley, West Yorkshire, 04-05-07. Poured dark brown, some cocoa notes but other than that it had very little to say, in fact I wrote very little about it at all, still I drank it and it was pleasant enough.
