Feb 14, 2007 (Cask@St.Urhos) Very dark reddish brown with a medium, bubbly-foamy, tanned and long-lasting head. Mild aroma of sourish-vegetably malt. Sour, medicinal and sulphury flavor with berries, herbs, and hints of licorice. Some roasted maltiness, too, with ashes in the aftertaste. Medium-bodied, soft-carbonated, slightly sour and ashy palate. A not very clean porter, and quite unbalanced scorewise.

Feb 10, 2007 Thin, mild, slightly sweet, slightly roasty, slightly everything. Except for the head. That was huge and lasting.

Jan 30, 2007 Cask Black beer with some brownish edges under B.C."H.". Slightly hoppy nose, whith some dark malts, liquorice, and hints at moccha. Nice, grapey, definitely hoppy taste, with flavours as from grape juice without the excess sweetness and as if sweetened with Traubenzucker . Light but not watery, some grist-like slickness. Original porter - a flavour which I would not associate with the style. I would tend to call it a very good mild, in fact.

Jan 21, 2007 A Mes rate: Cask at the Wenlock Arms. A fine porter with all the roasty, chocolate and coffee notes you would hope for. Bitter finish adds some welcome balance. A fine drop of English.

Jan 12, 2007 Bottle pours dark brown with a tall tan head that stays well and laces the pint glass in layers. Aromas of roasted malts, slight chocolate, and molasses. Flavor is big roasted malts, and some light coffee, along with a little molasses. Palate is somewhat on the watery side but pretty well carbonated. Finish is slightly bitter.. Not a bad drinker!
