Third, cask, guest ale at Brewery Tap (Spitting Feathers). Shared with Finn. Almost black in the glass, bubbly beige head, clingy lacing. Lightly roasted, earthy malts on the nose. Flavoured with dark malts and dark fruits. Roasted bitter tail. Easy to drink. Satisfying. (Chester 26.01.2020).

Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester Pours a very dark brown with a small cream head. Nose has hints of porridge. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy with hints of liquorice and dark fruits, and a touch of redcurrant sharpness. Finish is creamy and fruity. A nicely understated stout – one for sipping.
