Bottle from Keelham Farm Shop, Thornton. Clear copper coloured with an extremely thin head. Has a crisp malty base, some hops, some sweetness. It’s a tasty balance.

Il gusto al naso rimanda dritto al cioccolato. L’intensità olfattiva è normale e la persistenza olfattiva è corta. Il cappello di schiuma a carbonazione bassa e bollicine medie, di color marrone chiaro, ha una discreta resistenza ed è compatta. L’aspetto del liquido è cristallino. Il perlage ha bollicine fini. La carbonazione è abbondante, persistente ed insistita. Il colore è rosso tendente scarlatto. Il corpo è strutturato. L’amaro è medio. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole, molto Porter. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono lunghe. Il finale è lungo, secco e complesso. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l’aroma riporta sentori di cioccolato, abete rosso, vaniglia, erbe aromatiche e alcol presente.

Cask @ Montgomery’s Tower, Shrewsbury. Pours deep ruby, tan head. Aroma is sweet, toffee. Taste is lovely, sweet and warming for the strength. Nice toffee and dark fruits. Fades a little by the end, but for the most part a delicious dark mild.

500ml bottle at home on 1st April 2016. Poured into an Abbot Ale pint glass tankard. Very dark body, slight ruby hue to the black colour, on top a tanned foaming crown. Malts rule the brew, some chocolate and coffee esters in the aroma, hints of liquorice within the choc/coffee flavouring. Fairly smooth and soft mouthfeel, a gentle but tasty Stout from start to finish. Also had a cask half pint in the Snickleway Inn, York on 19th May 2026.

Bottle from Keelham Farm Shop, Thornton. Clear golden with a light easy drinking pale ale texture, that’s slightly dry tasting as well as tropical fruity in taste.
