2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Meant to be a porter recipe from the 1930s. As a historical recreation it is interesting, but no more. The initial nice porter (darker) malty nose and flavour makes way for a fair amount of sourness, but it’s not a satisfying mouthful. It’s a bit thin for me and doesn’t have complex enough flavours.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
BC. Pours dark, transparent ruby with a slim cream slick. Aroma of coal, red wine and mouldering leaves. Flavour dank and earthy (in a not completely unenjoyable way); soap, damp wood, blackcurrant skins, discounted supermarket blueberries just as they’re beginning to fur with mould. I’m also getting the lactic hints rauchbier picked up on. Decent but too yeasty and not convincing- needs the carbon turning up.

Bottle conditioned, from Rhythm & Booze in Barton upon Humber. Deep chestnut, thin but lasting off white head and gentle condition. Muted aromas of chocolate and berries, quite tangy in the mouth with a suggestion of lactic sourness and a touch more chocolate and fruit, and a lingering finish laced with cocoa powder and another hint of the lactic notes
