DruncanVeasey (1583), Burbage, Croatia Nov 6, 2007 Bottled, I think. Deep ruby pour with a creamy, well-retained tan suds. Soapy liquorice snout. Lightly smoky malt with hints of milk chocolate. Musty hops emerging. Toffeeish. Lingers smokily. Silky, chocolate-accented porter. RichardGretton (2580), Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England Mar 11, 2007 Cask@Loughborough Beer Festival 2007. Dark beer with a roasted aroma and a lightly malty flavour. Overall a nice beer. JonMoore (1542), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England Mar 5, 2006 Bottle (5.0% abv) from Hathern Post Office. Good looking porter, opaque near black brown, with a slim beige head. Nice sweet chocolate malt aroma. Nice combination of flavours, chocolate, roast malts, coffee, some licorice and fruits. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated. A very good porter Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Nov 30, 2005 BCA (From Bitter Virtue, BBE Jan 07. Initial raspberry aroma with light chocolatey malts. A pleasant combination. Body a disappointment tending towards a charred roastiness. Promising start which doesnt deliver. johndoughty (1571), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Nov 27, 2005 Dark bottle coditioned with that acidic edge that some bottled conditioned beers have.On top of this I found it hard to trace any real flavour.No doubt in its cask form it’s quite a pleasant porter.
