(Cask at White Horse on Parsons Green, 20191017) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was small, white and it lasted long. Aroma had toasted malts, caramel and earth. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, earth, caramel, herbalness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, hoppy and bitter. A tasty malty brew with hop bite.

[Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence.] A bright amber pour with a ring of white head; malty aroma with a hint of tangerine as promised; slightly oily in the mouth with a firm vegetal bitterness before a sweet nutty malt body emerges. A pleasantly autumnal bitter.

A lovely porter, this. Fairly sweet, some roast, pretty creamy indeed. Very high on carbonation, that's a pity, but the body does not suffer. Sweetened coffee with a few drops of cream, and some licorice blended through as a bonus.
