With a higher alcohol content this would have been a very good beer. Now it's just too watery. But there's nothing wrong with the bitterness!

cask conditioned. Light bronze color, no head. Light bodied and not overly hoppy. Quite boring.

Sherry color, sligthly malty but not much hop - I wasn't overly exited, mayby there was something wrong with the cask.

Smells like mushrooms!! I can also sense some mushroom-flavour, weird! Medium bitterness and some toffee-flavour. This should have been a quite good beer but that mushroom-thing spoils it. It's a bit watery too.

A sweet concoction that really doesn't have much going for it - the flavour is kind of fruity-cidery and not really pleasant, and there is no real roast.

(500 ml bottle). Exquisite aroma, beautiful colour, very bitter aftertaste (perhaps too bitter?) Rerate: I regret part of my first comment: The flavour is NOT too hoppy - it’s just an acquired taste. And the aroma IS exquisite!

Clear copper color. Thick head. Caramel and toffee aroma. Earthy toffee flavor with a slight roastiness.

Dryish, good porter, but not a standpoint. A bit of hopsack in the aroma...
