Cask Conditioned, at the Market Porter, Borough, London .
Deep brown, white sudsy head. Roasted dark malt aroma. Juicy, roasted flavour. The market porter really does live up to its name and supported the older more rustic styles of beer, respect to them.

Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2011, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.

Clear dark brown colour with a small to average, frothy, virtually none lacing, mostly to fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, chocolate, dark malt. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, chocolate malt sweet. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20110803]
