Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/10.20011. Near black with a decent, off-white head. fruity, milk chocolate aroma and a whiff of roastiness. Light mouth feel, with more fruit and chocolate and dryish finish. Fine, but a bit lacking in character.

cask at reading ... dark brown ... soft dull toffee roast ... thin tan head ...wishy washy toffee malts

Bottle from shepherds crook, Crowell. Pours black with no head. Very thin with coffee hint. Poor for a porter

Cask (handpump) at Egham Beer Festival on 18 August 2011. More very dark tawny than black. Incomplete loose beige head. Somewhat fruity aroma. As much like a mild as a porter. Fruity with a little roast twist and a hint of chocolate. Rather thin mouthfeel, understandably given the low ABV. Some bitterness in the aftertaste. Not at all bad if not much like a porter.
