3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask in the market porter. Alroudn rating: Honey pale amlt sweetness, floral and citrus fruits, bitter peppery character does balance, but then it becomes unbalanced and again further down the finish. Unusal finish, not sure what to think of it.
