Third by cask, second day of GBBF Winter 20, Astbury Bar. Shared with Finn. A bubbly beige head to a near-black body, clingy lacing. Roasted malt-driven aromas, mid-sweet. Vanilla chocolate flavours followed by a coffee bite to a roasted finish. Pleasing. (Rating no. 18500) (Birmingham 05.02.2020).

500ml bottle, shared with Mike. Pours dark, good pale tan head. Aroma has light chocolate, distant vanilla. Fairly light bodied and a touch thin for a porter, gentle chocolate, distant vanilla, gentle roast with a teasing sweetness. It's ok, drinks very easy, bourbon is negligible though.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival 2019, St Mary's Church. Pours clear amber, white froth atop. Aroma seems to be of a caramel malt persuasion. Continues to taste, nicely balanced fresh bitter territory with a gentle encouraging sweetness. Decent. Brewed to raise money for the church window smashed by burglars a few weeks before.

Bottle from Coed Y Dinas, Welshpool. Black with no head. Fuller tasting porter with a good roasted malt base, and plenty of dark malty flavour.

330ml bottle: BB 24th Jan 2020. Drank at home on 19th May 2019. Light golden body, full white foaming head. Lemon like aroma and dry taste from the hops. Too dry and citrus bitter for my palate.

330ml bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours clear gold, frothy off-white topping. Aroma is fresh lemon flan, citrus. Taste has a bright citrus hop presence, nice bitter tickle, plenty of fragrant lemon. Good simple IPA with lots of fresh citrus.
