Handpull cask at Beer Under the Clock, Retford. Dark brown, slightly translucent with a thick creamy beige/khaki head. Sweet aroma, some of the expected marshmallow and chocolate with a good whiff of Parma violets. Taste is extremely sweet, but obviously this comes as no surprise. Chocolate and more violet coming out. A touch of bitterness in the finish. Silky smooth body, very soft carbonation. I shouldn’t like this as much as I do.
