Aug 7, 2006 (Cask, Market Porter, London, 22 July) Colour is dark amber, with little head. Nose is malty, a bit fruity with dried fruit, caramel and a nutty hint. Taste starts malty and nutty then turns fruity with hints of dark cherry and a balanced dusty hoppiness in the finish. Balanced but a bit understated. Nice though.

Feb 20, 2006 Cask (gravity dispense), Battersea Beer Festival. Not much to say about this one really. Mid copper colour. Whilst the name might suggest something rather aromatic, this is a fairly dry, earthy bitter with the emphasis on malt. Hoppy bitterness comes through late. Surprised I’d never rated it before. Perfectly proficient, but unspectacular.

Feb 10, 2006 Cask gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Deep chestnut with disappearing white head. Slightly meaty aroma. Good agressive hops in mouth and drying hop finish. Quite nice. As you would expect from Cottage, rich flavours. But this is better than the average bitter.

Sep 10, 2004 Cask at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Dark brown colour with thin head and some light lacing. Struggled to detect much aroma, quite bland tasting but with malts in there somewhere. Watery mouthfeel.

Jul 21, 2004 Deep red/brown with a beige head. Aromas are mild fruit, mainly berries with light spice and a touch of soda water. Flavours are again mild fruit with some earthiness and a dry finish. A bit dull.
