Burton Bridge Dam Dog

Cask, 2nd Hinckley Beer Festival. First truly pitch brew of the night, with faint ruby glints, rim of tan. Bonfire aroma of burnt wood and oak chip drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Full charred and bittering hop IBUs, fighting beanspout dankness. Cream and mildew. A bit wrong, but enjoyable.

Cask, Burton Summer Fest 08. Dark brown with no head. Aromas are sweet, earthy molasses and roast malts with damson. Some smokiness, lightly herbal.. Flavours are sweet and sour damson with rich malts. Earthy and dry with some floral notes. Good.

Cask@Burton Summer Beer Festival, 2008. Black beer with a malty and roasted aroma. The flavour is malty and roasted. Overall nice beer.

cask at Kitty’s Helsinki 220808 murky dark brown creamy head. Tasty I thought on first sip but about roasted malts but then it turned to thin and bit watery. Long lasting roasted malts aftertaste bit chocolate too but I wasn’t so thrilled that TDS bit earlier

Cask (Kitty’s, Helsinki)
Very dark reddy-brown, large loose head (no sparkler - skroo yoo Burton Bridge :-p !) Rich roasty aroma, plenty of fruity esters. Slightly thin in the mouth, but not exactly watery. Can we compromise on it being a refreshing palate? Big (in porter terms) burnt taste - strong coffee thrust, and some of the fruity esters too. Nice bitter burnt finish - yay hops!
Post-tasting research (can be added to the commercial description, as it’s mostly lifted from their home page):
This appears to be related to their Damson Porter, but without the Target hops (this is Challenger only - yay single hop!), with no crystal malts, and brewed mostly to 5% rather than 4.5%. What it does have in common is the general style and that they are both flavoured with damson juice.
