Cask at Last Post, Derby. Pours a slightly hazy “bitter brown” with minimal off-white head. Not much of aroma, just vague hints of traditional hops. In the mouth it starts off sweet, but traditional hops soon come through turning it slightly bitter. Flavour has malts, caramel and nuts with hints of pepper. Finish is quite bitter. This is a decent old school beer – though I would class more of bitter than a brown ale.
