Handpulcask at the Hop, Wakefield. Dark brown with a good bit of translucency, and a full tight beige/khaki head. Muted aroma with some chocolate fudge and heavy malt notes. Sweet taste, more orange here but still very secondary to the chocolate. Good hop bitterness in the finish but there's some vegetal flavour in between. It's okay but there are some issues.

Cask @ Hop Inn, Newcastle Under Lyme. Pours black, off-white head. Badged as a chocolate orange stout, yet has no chocolate orange notes whatsoever. Some dust. Not great, decided not to venture past a sip.
