Keg tap at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Straw-coloured, hazy with a spotty white head. Light flowery aroma with lime and chalk. Taste is a bit odd with a herbal and some flavour. Long chalky finish. There are issues here but it's drinkable overall.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Copper with a creamy head. Has grainy and chocolatey malts in its taste, that also provide a nice lingering aftertaste for the ale.

Handpull cask at the Fort St George, Cambridge. Black, opaque with a ring of khaki head. Sweet smell with notes of liquorice, coffee and rosewater. Taste is sweet as well although there are some over-roasted malts providing bitterness in the background. More bitterness in the long finish, with cooked vegetable and agave syrup notes in the aftertaste. Thin body for a porter. By no means perfect, but it’s perfectly drinkable. I’m quite fond.
