Bottle, 5.4%. Sweet and vinous aroma. Roasted flavour, OK roasted malt flavour, but also quite sour.

Cask at White Cliffs BF 09. Black with dark brown edges, and lasting bubbly dark beige head. Roasted aroma, some choc. Lots of coffee and choc, really roasted. Excellent condition, strong flavours. But not over the top. Soft espresso coffee at end. Bit powdery in mouth. Nice though.

Cask Stillage at NWAF The Venue, Miles Platting 22/01/2010 Chocolaty roast aroma. Dark red coloured a little rich on the palate fruity and hoppy with a hint of dryness and bitterness in a burnt roast finish.

Courtesy of Fonefan. The label says Reedham porter, but I suppose it is the same as the normal Porter? It is black with a red hue and the head is light brown and creamy. The aroma has a roasted bitterness, notes of roasted malt, milk chocolate, ashes and a light sourness. The flavour has a light sweetness, a slightly roasted bitterness, a light sourness, notes of roasted malt, licorice and a slightly dry finish with light ashes and hints of soot.

Cask conditioned at The Kings Head, Norwich. Black with tan head. Good dry coffee notes right from the off, darkly roasted malts, quite stoutish in character. Full and chunky, demanding on the palate, very nice indeed in cask.
