Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available brewery conditioned and cold filtered in 500ml bottles.
This fine beer is a blend of a mature old ale with a younger light beer - just as a true Porter should be. The marriage produces an extremely characterful brew which is dark in colour and complex in taste.

Pours a deep red-hued black, thin head and great lacing. Aroma is dark malts, chocolate, and cherries. Flavor is the same, though a little heavy on the cherries. Flavor becomes thin towards the end, and the palate is fairly thin throughout. Very quaffable.

the old style porter poured a nice black color with a bit of ruby red sneaking in when held up to light.the head was a creamy off white that left nice webbing as it sat.i gathered armoas of chocolate,coffee,molasses,and malts.the flavor boasted much of the same and the mouthfeel was a little on the light side.overall this is pretty tastey stuff.

Clear, dark mahagony red with little head. Chocolaty aroma with a little licorice and charred wood and molasses. Medium bodied and pleasantly bitter. Roasted and blackened flavors with some tart and fruity.

Pours a dark ruby with a 1/4 inch tan head. not much lace to speak of. Smells malty and fruity, hints of maple or molasses. The appearance and smell do not reveal the taste of this brew. Nothing overly complicated but a nice nutty and smoky taste to the malt. Smoky, roastes, burnt malt flavors. Roasted nuts and hints of vanilla. Lightly metallic. Medium bodied. Very smooth porter and pretty unique to most that I have tried. Very good.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Very dark brown to chestnut, nearly black. Lovely strong aroma of roast malts, dark chocolate and prunes. Notes of oak and cigars too. Flavour is roasty, smooth and mellow with chocolate notes. Roasty aftertaste. Very good.

My cousing pulled this out of his refridgerator before dinner. Nice surprise! Poors black, not much head but this wasn’t served in ideal conditions. Semi-thick body with a lot of roasted malt in the flavor. Some chocolate, a little bitterness. A very good, solid porter.

Poured black with a nice thick head with a roasty malt aroma. Medium body with a roasty coffee flavor. This is a very good easy drinking porterand not watery like a lot of them.

Malty aroma, like if you were drinking a whine instead of beer. Black with cream style head that left good lacing on glass. Smooth roasted flavor that was rich enough on the palate. Good beer.
