Bottle. Clear light orange amber color with a small fair lacing white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate hoppy, fruit. Initial flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter, finish flavor is light sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. A very good ale.

Poured a watery, opaque black with a fast fading white head. Smells like chocolate, a little yeasty, malty and a hint of licorice. Heavy licorice flavor, heavy roasted malt. A little too one sided for me from a flavor stand point. Doesn’t look, smell or taste like an elite porter.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, dark brown - almost opaque - with an orange hue and a creamy, beige head that leaves a neat lacework. Soft and very pleasant aroma of roasted malt. Good, full body, lightly sweet roasted malts and a slightly burned edge. Distinct notes of licorice. Has some malt bitterness in the finish. A lovely Porter. 280207

Cask handpull at the Market Porter, Southwark. Deep copper colour, with lasting beige head. Some toffee, butter and creamy in the mouth. Decent tingly hop on finish. A little bit too buttery for my taste.

Bottle. Weirdly sweet and sour flavour. Horrible, like the hop flavour you get in alcohol free beer.

Cask. Nice fruity aroma. The flavour is sweet and fruity with a bitterness which gets a bit acidic. Hazy golden colour, frothy white head. A bit of plastic in the flavour, too.

Cask at the Wharf. Nice malty sweet aroma. Dark copper/brown colour. OK head. Very nice flavour, sweet fruity hoppiness, a little spicy. Finishes on a good bitter note, cleaning the palate. Pleasantly low carbonation.
