Jul 29, 2008 Gravity, ’08 Merton Summer Festival. Deep brown, frothy tan head. Tart coffee and prune aroma. Dry iodine toast flavor, sour, a bit thin. Not getting the US porter influence here.

Jul 27, 2008 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Merton Summer BF. A black beer with a slight, tan coloured head. Some smoky notes in the aroma. Coal in the mouth but lacking body. A slight sweet and sour note. A touch smoky again, and lacking any of the robustness and US hops I expected from the description.

Jul 21, 2008 Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 This was sent to us under what I understand to be the correct name, i.e. Parkeston Porter. Brown in colour with some light cocoa on the nose. Unremarkable in the flavour department but it still manages to tick the right boxes, bit sweet at times but balanced by some hoppiness not bad at all.

Cask at Chelmsford Beer Festival. Translucent mahogany colour. Malty aroma with some delicate chocolate. Something fishy going on in the flavour but only slightly. Otherwsie it is nice burnt smoky malt and again some chocolate. Long smoky finish. It’s all quite pleasant but just not quite assertive enough.
