Cask at Lacey's Bideford. It pours deep ruby brown with a medium bubbly off-white head. The aroma is toasty, earthy, wood, roasted malt, coffee grounds and cocoa. The taste is dry, bitter, chewy, roasted malt, peppery spice, tannin, toasty, chewy, leather, liquorice and some ash with a drying finish. Light - medium body and soft carbonation. A bit chewy and twiggy, but the aroma is decent enough.
