Cask. I took this down as "Grain Oak Aged Porter" - suppose it’s this one? Pours black and opaque with a small off-white head. Aroma of butter and hard roasted malt with some licorice. Medium-bodied, flat, lots of hard roasted malt, licorice, coffee and dried fruit. Some warming alcohol in the finish. Lovely - apart from the buttery nose. 200110

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 09. Bit fishy on aroma. Liquorice all oer it. No port as far as I can tell. Bit powdery in mouth. It’s just to much liquorice for me.
