Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks, 30.07.10 Very dark brown in colour, no head. There is plenty of demerara sugar on the nose along with some vanilla these combine marvllously both on the noes and in the mouth. There is a funky roasted bitterness, some almonds (well spotted Loz) Very nice drop. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cask at the Bricklayers Arms BF. Brown pour with a light film. Roasty malts and mocha in the aroma. Great flavor, lots of dark chocolate syrup, light roast, faint, earthy bitters. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with medium roastiness and plenty of mocha. Very good.

Fantastically smooth Porter, with a delicious hit of vanilla on the palate. Plenty of body with a creamy head that really sticks to the glass. One of the best beers I’ve ever tasted.

Cask (gravity dispense) at the Bricklayers Arms Yorkshire Beer Festival on 23 February 2011. Very dark brown / tawny colour. Thin collar of foam. Quite creamy aroma. More roasty in the flavour. Very roasty in fact. Plenty of powdery cocoa. Not actually a huge amount of vanilla (no bad thing in my view). Firm mouthfeel. Long, dry, fairly bitter chocolate aftertaste. Very enjoyable.
