Shakespeares The Tempest

Formerly brewed at Bards
Style: Porter
Alcester, England

Cask Stillage at the RUFC, Bromsgrove 15/07/2006 Strong slightly roasted aroma. Dark strong in alcohol and slightly fruity with some dryness in a crisp bitter finish.

Redditch Winter Ales Festival 2006. Good colour and a strong typical porter aroma. But let down, I thought, by the very rich, even overpowering, roast taste.

Cask gravity at Notts BF 05. Black beer, disappearing beige head. Slightly eggy but with nice roasted malts. Touch of liquorice on end. Fine, but not enough depth
