Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. Chocolate and malts to the fore in the aroma. Immediate reaction in the mouth, is how sweet and watery it is. However, flavour does come through in due course. Chiefly roasted malts but with good helpings of milky chocolate and a little coffee and hints of fruit. It’s OK, but Rat have done better beers than this.
