Cask at Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Pours a strongly dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s roast malts in the aroma, alongside bread rolls and a hint of coffee. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but with a little underlying bitterness. Flavour has cola, liquorice and malts plus traces of chocolate and ginger, leading to a slightly spicy finish. This is well balanced and rather nice.

Nice looking near-black with a frothy tan head, and chocolate malt on the nose. Medium bodied and smooth it ticks all the boxes for my liking, without being super-fabulous: there's roasted malt, some fruit and dry bitterness so all good.
