Jeppe (2631) - Ølbutikken, DENMARK - MAR 3, 2005
Sampled from cask (gravity dispense) at 6th Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival 2005.
Dark brown, thin off-white head. Sweet malty and caramelly aroma with grassy tones. Sticky and sweet flavor, malty, grassy and flowery. Oily but also dry in the mouth. Not very interesting.

joet (1919) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - FEB 10, 2005
slightly vinous, bit of edgewise sour, too flat to propel a full nose, not much body. some remote signs of flavor homogenization, disappointing roastiness -- not much there.

SilkTork (4898) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - FEB 1, 2005
Ramsgate Brewery, Ramsgate - with joet. Creamy, soft, coffee accented dark beer finishing with a woody tang. Vegetable. Fatty. Chocolate. Satisfying, smooth and delicious. Attractive reddish colour.

MrWalker (926) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 31, 2005
Cask @ Camra National Winter Ale Festival, Manchester, UK 26 Jan 2005
Quite toasted and a bit of sweaty cheese (I like). Odd prickly feeling in my nose. Made me sneeze twice! Dark fruity aftertaste.

chriso (7254) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 29, 2005
Very deep ruby colour. Fruity and slightly vinous aroma, with some smoky malt. Quite dry, woody and with a bitter finish. Medium mouthfeel. Not the richest porter, but pretty good. Bright bottled form cask (gravity dispense) at Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival.
