Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Luton BF. A very dark brown coloured beer with no head. The aroma is malty and has caramel notes. Actually quite dry in the nose. The taste is dry and malty with a little coffee. Definitely came over as a decent but not outstanding porter.

Deep amber, reddish colour with a dense tan head. Malty, caramel and fruity sweet aroma with a light hoppy floral note. Light roasted malty flavor with some sweetness and a hoppy floral finish.

Aroma is typical of houston, hoppy and floural. Taste is similar, with some lightly roasted alt characteristics going on. Great session ale.
