Cask at the Crown Inn, Penzance. It pours clear deep brown with a decent white head. The nose is soft, sweet vanilla, chocolate, roasted malts and dark fruits. The taste is pretty bitter, roasted malts, dark fruits, plum, chocolate, charred wood, earth, vanilla and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Flavoursome and moreish. Nice stuff.

Flavours were toasted malts, sweetness, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was toasty and bitter. A solid brew.
