Cask at Cornerhouse, Chester. Pours a dark (almost very dark) reddish-brown with a medium sized foamy cream head. The aroma is mainly roasted malts with hints of lactose and honey. In the mouth it is sweet and tangy with a creamy texture. Flavour has roasted malts, floral hops and some traces of citrus with dark fruits and cherries surfacing later. Sweetness lasts into the slightly fruity finish. This is excellent – exactly how a stout should be !
