50cl bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Black with a tawny tint and fast fading beige head; rich chocolate malt aroma; sweet oaty flavour to start, with a burst of tart fruit, and then a milky sweetness from the roasted malts; dry and somewhat chalky finish - reminds me of a milk stout. Very pleasant.

(Cask at Gallows Bird, Espoo, on 2009-01-23) Pale copper red and clear. Light (rasp)berry aroma. Medium bodied palate, dryish and litle bit of carbonation. Sweetness, berries, hint of malts and very light bitterness in flavour. Watery and light aftertaste. More juice than a beer.

Cask at GBBF 08. Gold, disappearing off white head. Some raspberry. It’s an odd beer. I kept forgetting that it was on the table in front of me, so I couldn’t have liked it that much as it took me so long to drink.

Cask at GBBF 08. Gold, lasting white head. Some yeast/hop on aroma. Bit yeasty maybe. Little bit dull. Building hop sting on the finish. It’s a golden ale.

[500ml bottle from The Real Ale Shop, Priory Farm, Wrentham, Suffolk] Pours deep crimson/black, with no head at all. Big lumps of sediment at bottom. Initially tastes weak and watery before a slight chocolate flavour comes through, followed by a big wallop of damsons and sloes. The sourness of the damsons dominates unpleasantly mid-drink before the intense dryness of the sloes comes through. The aftertaste develops through burnt woody notes into a slightly smokey dryness. In fact dryness in the dominant characteristic. Despite this, I’d agree with others who have said that this should posssibly be classified as a mild rather than a porter. However, despite being quite an interesting and unusual mild I wouldn’t number it amongst my favourites. Still a decent beer though - give it a go if you fancy something different.
