Cask, gravity at The Orchard Inn, Bristol, 27.01.12 Lovely beer, nutty, indulgent and so smooth. Some light woodiness, lightly roasty but just classy. I love this, the colour btw is dark brown with a filmy head. Lazy rating, enjoying this too much. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9

19/04/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (handpump). Nera impenetrabile con riflessi prugna, schiuma modesta, biancastra e frizzante. Aroma intenso di malti fruttati, una punta di fruttato (mela), un finale lievemente affumicato. In bocca è appena luppolata, con un finale tostato, lievemente affumicato. Consistenza oleosa, molto beverina, manca un po’ di corpo. Porter sui generis, ma ottima!

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest. Murky ebony with no head. This wasn’t released until the afternoon of the last day of the Festival as it hadn’t cleared, but i was certainly glad it was released. Rich, fruity flavours, quite plummy and full, heavy, sweetish malts, a real pleasure, just a shame it wasn’t in perfect nick.

Porter straordinaria, scende giù che è una bellezza. Delicata, fruttata, caramellata, è una vera delizia per il palato!

Cask at Cask Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico, London. A near black coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Pleasant roasted coffee aroma. Tastes of roasted coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, malty, hint of port. A little thin but still reasonably good.

Tap @ basserie 4:20 Roasted cereals. Pellucide black! Thin body and head. Licorice. Prefer a stronger porter but impressive to so make so much taste out of this thin porter.

Handpull cask condition at CP&K. Very deep chestnut. After the Grockle this is quite toned down. Some ok dark fruits. Good darkish malt. Juicy on finish. Decent.

Cask Pub & Kitchen, London. Poured a dark brown with a lasting foamy tan head depositing a scattered lace. Smoke, roasted malt and chocolate aromas. Goody, dry roasty malt flavours with some smoke and a berry tang. Medium, soft body with a lasting dry, smokey & earthy bitterness.

Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 15th October 2010. Deep brown with whitish head and some lacing. Malty aroma and touch of smoke; lemon citrus and burnt malts in-mouth. Citric finish and some bitterness. I liked how the flavours alternate in the mouth; engaging texture.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 30/03/10. Near black in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of dark fruits and roasted malts. Flavour started slightly sweet, with some milk chocolate and blackberries, before a roasty dry finish. The effect of the port was absent, but still pretty enjoyable.
