Fra cask på The Mossy Well sammen med Stephen: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Brød, kastanjenøtter og barskog. Mild bitterhet og ganske lang ettersmak.

Cask @ Manchester & County, Manchester. This might be the same ale as Goodwill Bitter. Very dark red with a creamy off-white head. Has some coffee both its aroma and taste, and slightly roasted in the later, although smooth tasting in its texture. It’s strength is not too evident.
