Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
A fitting tribute to Finn, a character famed for his hospitality brought to life in the story of Beowulf. Our porter is as it should be: inviting, dark, and smoky, hoppy and not too sweet. The kind of ale that invites one to linger.

Cask at the GBBF 2008. Black colour, low head. Nice roasty aroma, notes of coffee, liquorice and dark chocolate. Roasty flavour with just a subtle fruity acidity.

Cask@GBBF2008. Deep ambery brown colour, small head. Aroma is roasted malts, plum and some mild notes of apples and coffee. Flavour is ashes, roasted malts and some wet smoked wood with mild sweetness kicking in in the finish.
