20/12/2021. Bottle from Hoppily, Chelmsford. Christmas countdown beer 6. Pours clear mid-dark ruby brown with a small short lasting off-white head quickly settling very uninspiring on the eye. Aroma of malt, toffee, liquorice, molasses, citrus, dried fruit, touch of spice. Moderate sweetness, light roasted bitterness touch of sour. Moderate body, oily watery texture, soft carbonation. Metallic finish. Aroma was ok but otherwise very disappointing.

Cask at Sun Inn, Stafford. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a sizeable cream head and good lacing. Roasted malts and vanilla to the fore in the nose. Flavour in the mouth starts off with dark fruits and chocolate, and then moves on to coffee, treacle and spices. Some Olde English Spangles in there too. Finish is malty and slightly dry. A really good solid porter.
