Leighton (6898) - London, ENGLAND - APR 15, 2011
Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Ruby brown pour with a fine, creamy head. Mild roast aroma with sugary malts. Some dark malts and sugar start flavor, faintly roasty, light cocoa. Light to medium in body with delicate carbonation. Weak roast finish with some herbal hops. Quite drinkable but very one-dimensional.

Cask at GBBF ’10. Dark brown with a beige head. Roast malts and caramel nose, not much going on there. Vanilla, chocolate and caramel flavours. Average stuff.

renffisch (643) - london, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 3, 2010
Gravicask at GBBF 2010. Darkest mahogany colour, no head nor lace. Lovely nutty burnt wood nose. Thin in taste and very very bland. Dissapointing.

thebeertourist (4257) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUN 9, 2009
Cask at Thurrock Beer Festival. Mahogny with an offwhite head. Sharp fruity aroma and hints of caramel. Fruitiness in the lead: apples and pear flavours. Enjoyable.

Finn (3090) - Tromsø, NORWAY - MAY 19, 2008
From keg at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich 4 May 08. Dark brown colored. No head. Modest aroma of chocolate and coffee. Watery impression but hoppy notes. Too light to be a proper porter. Hardly any bitterness.

Rune (6120) - Tromsø, NORWAY - MAY 19, 2008
Half on cask at Dove Street Inn (4.2% ABV). Black-brownish body. Thin, off-white head. Aroma brings flashes of liquorice and chocolate malt. Mild roasted taste with coarse-grain and sweet chocolate. Bitter afternotes. Quite well bodied for its low strength (Ipswich, 04.05.2008).

Ungstrup (26193) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - JAN 21, 2008
Cask at GBBF 2007. A very dark brown beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and roasted malt - the roasted malt lending it a slight acidity combined with a slight note of berries. The flavor is sweet mlaty with light notes of roasted malt, berries and vegetables, leading to a slightly bitter and roasted finish. The mouthfeel is very smooth. Nice, but the body is thin.
