Cask (handpump), Market Porter, Southwark. Dark chestnut colour with a thin beige head. Slightly sour, old ale aroma with some woody, musty, cheesy elements. Lots of treacle toffee in the flavour, with caramel malt, hints of tart fruit and just a slight edge. But the overall feel is rather sweet (maybe a touch too sweet) and tends towards sticky.

Jan 7, 2008 Cask @ Pembury fest. Deep amber with a thin off white head. Dark fruit, toffee and sweet toasty malt. A little old ale tartness but nothing special.

Sep 18, 2007 Aug 07 Cask conditioned @ Old Silk Mill, Derby. Roasty toasty toffee with mild hoppy finish. Pleasant enough at first but a bit much after a pint.

Cask at Bar Fringe, Manchester. Chestnut brown colour. Slightly tart fruity notes and some tarry maltyness. A little liquorice in there too. For me it just didnt balance out quite right.
