KyotoLefty	3.5 Porter Sunshine From the cask in Stockport. Old notes. Deep golden color. Full, bready malts with a ton of hops, citrus, grass, bitter. Very nice hoppy blond. Sunday, August 10, 2014
KyotoLefty	3.4 Porter Rossendale Ale From the Cask in Stockport, the place under the railroad. From old notes. A copper-amber color, earthy flavor. Medium hops. Very nice, very drinkable, a bit like a biere de garde with the earthy, roasted amber flavor. Saturday, August 9, 2014
KyotoLefty	3.7 Porter Pitch Porter Had this on cask in Stockport. Old notes. Pitch Black, burnt to a crisp. Dry and hoppy. Very rich and dry, lovely flavors. A fantastic dry porter. Saturday, August 9, 2014
DanielBrown	3.7 Porter Pitch Porter Hand pulled at the Sportsman, Hyde. This is not a retired beer, as it appears that the brewery is now called Pennine Ales, and is active. Creamy head. Nice richness to this. Creamy coffee flavour. Not overpowering. Smooth, good consistency. Friday, May 7, 2010
DanielBrown	3.9 Porter Floral Dance Hand pulled at the Sportsman, Hyde. This is not a retired beer, as it appears that the brewery is now called Pennine Ales, and is active. This was a delicious hoppy bitter. Marvellous jammy mouthfeel. Amber colour and a great zesty flavour. Friday, May 7, 2010
DruncanVeasey	3.7 Porter Floral Dance (As Rossendale/Pennine Brewery Floral dance, The Knott, Manchester). Burnished amber climbing with suds. Gritty Galena-type citrus, grapefruit, sprinkle of ash aroma. Mandarin, rose, pithy lemon and grapefruit, Hobnob and nutty malt balance. Lingers with peanut. Pungent IBUs. Flowery like a Triffid is flowery. Perfumey and dangerous. Sunday, January 4, 2009
DJMonarch	3.4 Porter Pitch Porter 1. Cask Handpump at the Railway Inn, Stockport 31/12/2001 Dark red and fruity with some alcohol present. Smooth roast finish. 2. Cask Handpump at the Railway Inn, Stockport 09/06/2007 Fruity roast aroma. Dark red smooth and fruity with some dryness in a crisp and bitter full roast finish. Sunday, July 29, 2007
DJMonarch	3 Porter Pushing The Boundaries Cask Stillage at Edgeley Park, Stockport 02/06/2007 Advertised at 7.6% but drank quite a bit stronger on this occasion. Strong fruity aroma. Golden slightly hazy and strong in alcohol with a fruity slightly bitter finish. Sunday, July 29, 2007
Svesse	3.6 Porter Sunshine (Cask at Railway, Stockport, 29 July) Colour is golden amber with small head. Nose is fruity with lots of citrus (grapefruit, lemon, orange). Taste is fruity and spicy with grapfruit and lemon, initially sweet but turns drier in the long and seriously hoppy (grapefruit style) and bitter finish. Lovely hop character. Friday, August 11, 2006

Ungstrup	2.9 Porter Sunshine [Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of fruit and flowers. The flavor is also sweet malty, but with notes of lemon, and with a bitter hoppy end. Tuesday, January 3, 2006
Mads Langtved	1.1 Porter Sunshine Cask condition, GBBF 2005. Not hoppy. A strange taste of cork is all over this beer. Quite unpleasant. Saturday, September 3, 2005
chriso	3.5 Porter Sunshine This beer IS mainly about the hops, but I didn’t think it was a one-trick pony. There’s quite a fair smattering of pale malt nestling down in the depths of the flavour. It’s an unremarkable amber colour. The aroma has a faint suggestion of green apple to go with the rush of citric hop. The flavour has much more of an oily, resinous hop character with enough bitterness to produce a very assertive feel. Well-defined and well-balanced. The finish is lingering and dry - positively arid in fact. Slightly chalky mouthfeel. I wasn’t convinced by this beer on the first couple of mouthfuls, but it won me over by the end and I found myself even enjoying the very austere dryness. Sunday, May 22, 2005
chriso	3.4 Porter Dark Mild On cask at the Griffin, Haslingden (where its brewed). A garnet tinged mild - not the darkest. Chocolate is quite evident on the nose. That carries through onto the palate, where coffee and burnt malt make an appearance too. All quite subtle. The initial impression is slightly sweet but it dries out towards the finish. Overall, a well-tempered, roasty mild at the lighter bodied end of the spectrum. Definitely a true supping mild, not a pseudo-porter or a quasi-stout. Sunday, May 22, 2005
chriso	3.1 Porter Floral Dance On cask at the Griffin, Haslingden (where its brewed). The commercial description is succinct and to the point and is just about right. It could add that the colour is on the amber side of gold, that the fruit is apple (somewhat sharp apple at that) and that the mouthfeel is mellow tending towards soft. Even for a cask beer this was very flat, with no head (just when I was beginning to get used to those foamy Northern heads). I thought I detected something spicy, maybe ginger, in the flavour too. An easy-going, laid-back sort of beer. Sunday, May 22, 2005
chriso	3.5 Porter Rossendale Ale On cask at the Griffin, Haslingden (where its brewed). Alluring bright copper/bronze colour. A best bitter with a distinctly traditional feel. It is markedly malty, but there’s plenty of citric hop presence and a fair whack of bitterness too. This all contributes to a well balanced beer with a clean and composed mouthfeel. Its refreshing too. The aroma’s a bit subdued though. Not a world beater, but solid and assured. Sunday, May 22, 2005
MrWalker	3 Porter Bitter Cask @ The Railway, Stockport, UK 29 Jan 2005 Dark amber in colour. It is quite dry and missing somewhat in body and also a tiny bit to harsh from long time mashing I think. Monday, February 21, 2005
leaparsons	3.4 Porter Sunshine Golden/orange in colour. Aromas are hoppy and spicy with some sweetness. The flavour is intensely hoppy. To be honest this beer is all hops. Has a very dry finish for good measure. One for the hopheads. Tuesday, July 20, 2004
