 Indra (1828), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
Dec 16, 2000 Updated: Aug 31, 2003I have very fond memories of this stuff. A true British porter; somewhat lighter in body than American porters by and large. Another one I wish I could still buy around here.
rauchbier (2873), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
Sep 23, 2003 Cask conditioned, at Batemans Visitor Centre. Dark ruby red, almost black colour, orange/beige head and good condition. Excellent licorice and roasted barley aromas, sweet and licoricy in the mouth with slight phenolic notes and a developing dry roasted bitterness in the finish.
JonMoore (1549), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England
Nov 14, 2004 Cask at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Very dark red colour, with a creamy tan head. Malty aroma, roast malts and coffee in the taste. Very smooth and drinkable. Very good.
Nuffield (2537), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
Jul 16, 2003 Very respectable and enjoyable. Great aroma, toffee, port-like, slightly musty, and like fruit cake. The flavor is like a chewy candy, helping to overcome the innate simplicity of the palate. A lack of complexity is the primary fault here. (gravity cask, 2003 Chelmsford Beer Festival)

May 27, 2003 Updated: Jan 5, 2004 Cask conditioned at The Rover, Göteborg, Sweden. Dark color. Light body for being a porter but very tasty with notes of licorice and juniper berry.
