Cask at Gloucester Beer Festival. Almost black with a small white head. Hoppy aroma, tropical and citrus fruits with some roast and chocolate malt notes. Taste is sweet tropical and citrus, dark chocolate, some roasted malt bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Pretty decent, perhaps a tad sweeter than expected.
