Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small off-white head. Toffee and liquorice are prominent in the aroma. In the mouth, there is a mix of dried fruit , chocolate, cherries and liquorice with an underlying malt base. This is a general slight sweetness, again with some bitterness underneath. Fruitcake and treacle in the finish. This is a pretty good traditional strong ale.
