Reviewed from session notes.

'Dark Red English-Style Ale' is printed on the neck label.

A. Lightly-hazed reddish copper color with a two finger white sudsy head on top with fairly decent retention, some loops of mild lacing left behind.

S. A light whiff of tartness on top of light aromas of apples and black cherries, mild toasted bread underneath. This beer appears to be using 'ye olde' definition of an English Porter, the one where a soured beer is blended with a mild and a fresh beer in different proportions to create a final blend.

T. Tiny pinpricks of initial tartness over a smooth blend of various kinds of lightly toasted bread flavors. Faint nuttiness and earthy noble hop spectrum sort of spectrum finishes up quite nicely. Not nearly as tart as the (already lightly soured) aroma had led me to believe, but that's okay because this is not intended to be a Wild Ale.

M. Lighter creamy smooth body, light carbonation. Very nice.
