Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton Pours a reddish brown with a small cream head. Body is slow to clear, but does eventually. Just a little toffee on the nose. More toffee in the mouth, with caramel and oats. Basically sweet, but with some hints of spice now and then. Finish is bitter with some alcoholic strength coming through. A good solid winter beer,
