Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 06. Black beer with malty head. Dry bitter porter with an oaky, woody, smoked background. Juicy at times and a touch of liquorice. Finishes sweetly. I enjoyed it but wouldn’t want too much.

Dec 4, 2009 Cask at Pig’s Ear beer fest. Chocolatey nose with just a hint of sour fruit, flavour is sweet malt and creamy at first, then almost instantly dry and roast mocha comes through, leaving a dry bitter finish. Light-bodied yet tgoothsome and complex, a good light porter.

Dec 14, 2008 Cask - - Gallows Bird, Espoo
Very dark red, small off-white head. Pleasant rich roasty aroma. However, it is a bit pooey too, but it is a bit tired, on its 4th day, I think. Pleasant soft roasty body, but the sweetness of the malt and the age make it feel a bit flat. This probably has huge potential fresh.

Apr 16, 2008 Cask@Pigs Ear Fest. A lightly spicey porter, with some light sweetness and dark fruit characters. There is also some roasted malt and chocolate malt. Not so bad.

Ramsgate beer fest.
Dark and slightly roasty. Not particulaly porter like. Kind of half way between that and a mild if you ask me. Tangy and sweet then a lovely smokey finish where it earns its porter tag. Not bad.
