7% porter. Mmmmm. As they say, the proof of the pudding and all that so here we go... cask @ Brewery Shades, Crawley. Darkest brown, so close to black. Small but lively khaki head. Aroma of smoke, burnt coffeepot with a hint of bittering hop. Smooth, sweet liquorice taste with an espresso bitterness in the finish. Tongue-tickling palette that is so rare in cask. An excellent beer from a brewery that I just discovered today.

Cask @ Brewery Shades, Crawley. Very dark brown with little head. Sweet malty aroma of honey, strong coffee, slight vinegar. Initial sweet taste whacks headlong into a bitter-sour lasting through to the finish. Thinner mouthfeel than I would have liked. Still, a good porter is always welcome, even slightly unbalanced ones.

Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton on 6th November 2013. Dark copper with yellowy white shallow foam. Biscuit malt aroma. Deliciously nutty in-mouth with hazelnut and peanut discernable. Malty and nutty finish, not overly sweet. Lightly zingy mouthfeel and medium body.
