(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2009) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, roasted grain and coffee. Malty, roasted taste with notes of black coffee, chocolate and raisins. Rather thin body. Generous coffee bitterness in a dry finish. Very nice stout.

Cask@GBBF. Black, almost opaque color, small beige head. Light coffee in the nose, a bit sweet. Toasted malty, coffeish flavor with light caramel in the background. Aftertaste has toasty maltyness and some light hops. Nicely balanced session stout.

Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 This was sent to us under what I understand to be the correct name, i.e. Parkeston Porter. Brown in colour with some light cocoa on the nose. Unremarkable in the flavour department but it still manages to tick the right boxes, bit sweet at times but balanced by some hoppiness not bad at all.
