Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is toffee, some earth, mild caramel, wooden and quite flowery hoppy notes. Flavour is quite the same. Also some nutty and chocolateish notes.

Bottled (at Chriso, BB 07/2010). Dark nut brown, steady creamy beige head. Dark wood, some dark malts in the nose. Light coffee, some mentol-fruity hops, roasted. Toasted finish. This is also very Shep Neamish. Not bad, but not the most interesting English-style Porter either.

Bottled (at Chriso’s). Amber color, steady off-white head. Floral, dry citrus aroma, some toffee - "house aroma" of Shepherd Neame. Toffeish and nutty flavor. A bit fizzy carbonated. Aftertaste is quite quick.

Bottled (thanks to the best harrisoni in the world!). Nice honeyish golden colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is toffee, some grass, fruits and some flowery and wooden notes. Flavour is caramel, some fruity and wooden notes. Very pleasant notes of caramel and wooden notes in the aftertaste.

Very lively pour, with a deep amber colour. Muted malt aroma with some dusty hops. Flavour was sweet, with chunky malts, dried floral hops and a short, bitter finish. Ok, but this was subdued all round.

Amber coloured with a decent, off-white head and a slight carbonation. Caramel aroma with some tired floral hops. Flavour was a lot more enjoyable, with some sweetish malt, summer fruits and more lively floral hops. Finish was marred somewhat by the cardboard effect others have mentioned. Ok.

Bottle picked up at Asda, Peterborough, Camb’s 22-01-09 Pours amber (not really golden?) Aroma is sweet but there is also a little ashtray as weel. Taste is sweet, bit malty its ok and slightly better than anticipated but that’s not really a ringing endorsement, just totted up my score and surprised to see I’ve given it 3.1 must be feeling generous.
