Cask (Egham Beer Festival - Summer 2010) - Dark brown with some red tinges. Coffee, plain chocolate and roasted malt in the aroma. Roasted and slightly sweet taste with malt and coffee detected.

Cask (handpump) at Egham United Services Club Beer Festival on 19 August 2010. Not the darkest porter. Dark reddish colour. Fruity and a little woody with a slight lactic edge on the finish. Certainly not a heavy stout-like roasty porter, and none the worse for that. Tends towards an old ale. A pretty decent drop. Encouraging to see a brewery that grows its own barley (but I guess has it malted elsewhere?).
