Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a small foamy cream head. Not much of an aroma – just some vague berry fruits. Fruits and berries more to the fore in the mouthwith hints of cherries also and an underlying biscuit base. Later on some toffee comes into the equation. Can really say anything more than “drinkable” due to it having come from the “Spoons chiller” – needs a rerate really.
