Bottle from Webbs of Wychbold, between Bromsgrove and Droitwich. Dark ruby colour with quite a fizzy off white head which leaves a small swirl. Aroma is more promising with light earthiness, biscuit, nuts, red berries, flora, sweetness. Taste wise it follows the same path, some richness and depth to the malt but ultimately balanced by the right amount of sweetness and the light+ slick body and a tingle of hops - very nice.

Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Near Coleshill. Pours a reddish brown with small beige head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate, burnt treacle, raisins. Taste has a dark malt/treacle but is also quite fruity with plum and raisin, cocoa dusting. Slight spicy hop in the finish, maybe even a touch of aniseed. Near medium bodied, fine carbonation. Good porter.

Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Clear gold with small white top which dissipates. Aroma of biscuit, orange zest. Taste of melon, orange, flora with peppery spice and creeping bitterness. Light bodied, nice zing to the carbonation though, refreshing.

Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Light hazed gold with good lasting white head. Aroma of grains, light butterscotch, sawdust. Taste of grains, over boiled veg, caramelized sugar, herbs. Mid bodied, nice crispness with Co2 to match. Sadly not that tasty although it grew on me a bit.

Handpull cask perfectly poured at the Kings Head, Leicester. Dark brown, fairly opaque with a ring of beige head and a lot of lacing. Lots of liquorice in the aroma, woody notes, touches of sweet spice. A little sweetness in the taste, liquorice, ashy notes, horehound candy. Dry finish. Weighty body for the ABV, light carbonation. Really good.
