fonefan (4468), Ulfborg, Denmark Jun 24, 2008 Cask gravity @ Reading Beer Festival 2008. Clear dark amber color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, chocolate. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (030508) MiP (5067), Flensburg, Germany Feb 2, 2008 Cask. Quite malty flavour. Good, dark, roasted malts. Mild carbonation, giving good creaminess. Mes_and_Sim (4365), Highgate, Greater London, England Jan 14, 2008 A Mes rate: 50cl bottle from Kris Wines. Mid brown with a slight red hue and a off white film. Bland aroma. Slightly more character in the flavour. Tangy, hoppy, a little coffee and a sharp bitter finish. This is actually a blend of the Mild and Wassail so how they can claim it’s a porter I’m not sure. Whatever it’s nothing too special. Magic_dave6 (3751), London, Greater London, England Apr 25, 2007 Imagine someone putting a bit of manure in a glass, i wouldnt drink it, seriously i felt in danger. Pub (4046), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Feb 24, 2007 Cask conditioned at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. A Porter? is that what it was meant to be? My description would be more of a strongish mild, I found some nuttiness in the malt with a slightly cloying sweetness and finishing off with a fleshy fruit flavour. Not overly impressive but nothing bad either.
