| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2009 2009-12-04. Red and brown tinged black body, lovely foamy tan head looks gorgeous. Flavour is modest, roasty profile is less bitter than expected, sweetish malt core, light fruity tang in the finish. 7+ Modest roast in the aroma, dry roast malt, light tangy quality, hint of something. Smooth average plus to medium bodied palate. Decent but I prefer the fullness of the draft version personally. Cask at Volo, Toronto Bragesnak (2354), Aarhus, Denmark

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 12, 2009 Half pint, cask well-kept at Doric Arch, Euston, London. Black, ruby tinged body under a thin, beige head. Inviting roasted aroma of sweet malts. Prunes and plums in flavour sustained by roasted malts and balanced by a lingering, smooth bitter end. Full bodied, but still with fine drinkability. A well made, mid-sweet porter (05.05.2009). nate2g (1140), Brisbane, Australia
