Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Mid- to dark mahogany brown, a little translucent with a small film of beige/khaki head and a lot of spotty lacing. Malty aroma, notes of chocolate and red berries. Tastes sweet at first but there's a wonderful bitter hoppiness which follows, with a touch of astringency. More chocolate here, some black cherry. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Incredibly good for the style.
