Cask at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. So so stuff. Pours clear brown with no head. Mild ashy roast, some burnt marshmallows, brown bread. Light bodied with soft carbonation - fairly poor condition. Finishes with more toasty brown bread, low bitterness, vague roast, suggestions of dark fruits. Let down by the condition.
