3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle 50 cl) Mahogany brown with a warm, reddish glow. Tall, handsome, beige head with good retention. Lovely fresh aroma of roasted malt. Surprisingly light body with lots of fruit and plenty of malty accents - not really burned malt though. Quite pleasant and drinkable but lacks some balls. 160206
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A hazy deep red beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet malty and slightly acidic and roasted. The flavor is sweet again combined with hints of acidity, but also notes of roasted malt, caramel and hints of sulphur. I think of this like more a Mild than a Porter.

Dark red coloured strong in alcohol and rich on the palate. Slightly bitter finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle conditioned. Dark brown with a very large off-white head. Roasted malts and nuts in the aroma with some light chocolate and coffee. Taste is dry and hoppy in addition to the above. Quite highly carbonated, light mouthfeel, drinks below its gravity. It would be better with a little less fizz.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle conditioned. Mahogony in colour, quite light for a porter. Aromas are earthy sweet roast malts with some nuttiness. Flavours are nutty roast malts, chocolate and not so much earthiness as the aroma. Dry, hoppy and nutty. At this strength its a proper olde style porter.

Beer #14 at Chelmsford Beer Festival, with Duff. This was a fruity porter, with some coffee hints, a smooth finish and a fairly light body. Perfectly pleasant, but I was expecting something a bit more beefy, and with greater punch, from a beer of this strength. Cask (gravity dispense).
