Cask Handpump from the Main Hall at the Assembly Rooms, Derby Winter Ales Festival 05/01/2008 Fruit and roast aromas. Dark coloured and rich on the palate with some alcohol present. Crisp and bitter lasting malt finish.

Cask conditioned at Far from the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Chestnut with cream head. Quite a nutty flavour with the associated drying character. I’m not sure I would call it a Porter myself, but hey. Dark roasted chocolatey note, bitter and lasting. Reasonable.

[Cask at Wenlock Arms, London] A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malted with light roasted notes. The flavor is malty with an acidic touch of roasted malt combined with notes of straw.
