33cl bottle. Poured a clear medium brown with a frothy off white head. The aroma is sticky toffee caramel grainy malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth, sweet caramel malt, dry, fruity, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not sure why this is even called a Porter.

Taste comprises fruit loaf, sweet malts, caramel, dried fruits, orange peel, light spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light bitterness in the close. Passable English Strong but lacks any depth or complexity for the ABV.

Cask from the brewer's own stand at the Thame Food Festival. Deep amber with a thick cream head and a light sparkle. Nice full body with flavours of autumn leaves, toffee and earth. A crisp, moderately bitter brew. Chiltern really are very good at making traditional cask bitters like this.

Bottle at C&R Pre-GBBF Tasting 2017. It pours clear copper with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, sugary, tangy, berry skin, stewed fruits, must, earth and marmalade. The taste is dry, firm bitterness, wood, leather, very earthy, toasty grain, cereal, nut and alcohol. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Some interesting aspects to it. Not bad.
