Cask at the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Ruby/dark brown, very translucent with a small to medium tan head. Some roasty notes, chocolate, nutty aroma. Slight astringency. Taste is bittersweet initially, then quite sweet with a sulphurous note. More chocolate and some coffee in the long finish along with some acrid notes. Lively natural carbonation on the mouth. Not the best porter in the world.

Cask at the White Hart, Otley, Suffolk. Amber with a small white head. Fruity with a little caramel, a touch of spice and a mild bitterness. A little bland and watery, and very definitely run-of-the-mill. Little to distinguish this from hundreds of other bitters out there.
