Gravity cask at the 2019 CAMRA Rutland Beer Festival, Rutland County Museum. A Festival special. Dark, dark brown, a bit muddy/hazy, with a ring of khaki head. Chocolate malt aroma with molasses and Marmite notes. It's a sweet beer, but not overly so. There's an earthy bitterness anchoring the taste. Slate, biter cooking chocolate and espresso in the aftertaste. A typical strong English porter (and all the better for it).

Gravity cask at the 2019 CAMRA Rutland Beer Festival, Rutland County Museum. Light reddish brown, very clear with a thin layer of beige head. Muted malt-focused aroma with hints of coffee, hazelnut, cola. The taste is sweet and nutty at first; however there is a strong earthy bittering hop which carries to the long finish. A good mild with an enjoyable balance.

Handpull cask at Broood, Leicester. Amber and clear with a thin white head. Floral and grassy aroma with turpentine and TCP. Should I drink it or dress my wounds? Bitter taste with a medicinal bite, leading to more TCP and a woody dryness in the finish. Not crazy about this.
