fonefan (5569), Ulfborg, Denmark Jun 10, 2008 <b>Cask gravity @ Reading Beer Festival 2008.</b><br />Clear dark red brown color with a small, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, burnt, coffee. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Very easy to drink. Body is medium to light, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (020508) fiulijn (6010), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Jun 7, 2008 <i>Cask conditioned at Cockney Pub, Århus</i><br />Black color; creamy head. It has some roasted malt aroma, and yeasty dough in the beginning, some hop later. It has a reasonably smooth mouthfeel; the flavor is quite balanced in the front, but quickly gets dominated too much by the roasted malt, that is not extreme, but still too aggressive for my liking. The final has also too much roasted bitterness, and a sourish touch from it. Correctly brewed, but not in my target. harrisoni (5474), Ashford, Kent, England Jun 3, 2008 Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. Black with dark brown edges. Rather a lovely choccy aorma. OK, definitely a choccy porter. Rather good. JK54B (399), Finland May 28, 2008 Cask RA. Brown thin head. Dark brown reddish colour. Taste of coffee and malts. wheresthepath (280), Buckinghamshire, England May 16, 2008 [cask at Reading beer festival] Deep, rich, sweet fruitiness, red wine, some sharpness comes through, with a mildly bitter aftertaste. Pretty darn good!
