When did Spoons get so expensive?! Maar wel gelijk een mild. Pikzwart, licht gebruinde mooie schuimkraag. Honing, geroosterde malt, koffie, caramel. Caramel, zoet, honing, gebrande suiker.

3/5/2019. Cask at the 28th East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours dark ruby brown with a bubbly beige head. Aroma of light roasted malt, chocolate, light ash, dark fruit, coffee and earthy nutty notes. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight chalky texture, soft carbonation. Finish is quite dry. Pretty decent overall.

Cask, Victoria Spoons. Not getting any aroma over the Full Englishes around me. Ruby brown. Thin bubbly off-white head. Sweet with a hint of bitterness. Choc and nut and raisens. Medium bodied. Thin with some slickness. Soft to flat carbonation. Abrupt finish. Enjoyable laid back mild.
