Lovely perfume and fruity hop aroma. Taste threatens to overwhelm but doesn’t, leading to a balanced finish. An honest golden beer, full-flavoured yet reserved.

Cask at JDW Bishop Vesey; hazy amber pour with big foam white head, wispy floral hop aroma, slight hop taste with a malty background and a caramel edge.

Cask at The Fountain, Walsall. Poured a lively dark brown colour with a frothy tan head. The aroma is malty with a little fruit. The flavour is medium bitter, with roasted malt, some citrus and smooth creamy caramel on the palate. This isn’t like any other porter I’ve tasted. There is much less bitterness and its way more thick and creamy. I’ll go as far as saying this is perhaps the best "porter" I’ve ever tasted! --- Beer merged from original tick of D&B Porter on 11 May 2014 at 11:30 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a reddish hue and a frothy off-white head. The aroma is light fruit hop. The flavour is light bitter with a roasted malt light bitter "dandelion and burdock" fruit palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. A pleasant ale and very drinkable but I’m not sure that I’m into fruity porters tbh. Those people that are will rate it higher than I did. Cask in 2014 so not exactly "retired".

Cask at the Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours clear gold with a faint, white foam head. Lots of ginger in the nose, some hay. Light to medium sweet flavor with natural ginger, some bitter straw. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Medium sweetness in the finish with strong ginger and sturday hay bitterness. Good stuff.

Cask at The Fountain, Walsall. Poured a clear amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malty with a little fruit leading to a medium bitter, malty, citrus flavour with some chinook hoppiness and a touch of spice on the palate. A beautiful ale!

Light golden ale, fairly pale in this respect. Has a very small head and a light malty aroma. Has an average but not overly bitter taste.

Cask at The Fountain, Walsall. Poured a clear golden brown with a big white frothy head. The aroma is weak malt. The flavour is medium bitter malty with a rather smooth palate. Given its alcohol content it’s a perfect session beer.
