Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours a deep chestnut with a small cream head. There’s malts, caramel and hints of yeast in the aroma. In the mouth it is slightly bitter with a creamy texture. Flavours of traditional hops, malts and honey with oranges and traces of melon coming through later leading to a slightly fruity finish. This reasonable but nothing special.
