Cask at Derby Tap. Pours a solid dark brown with minimal cream head. Roast malts and vanilla in the nose. Starts off sweet and fruity in the mouth, but liquorice then comes through and dominates. Some hints of chocolate, cocoa and malts as well. Finish is mainly liquorice. Quite nice.

Handpull cask at the Rutland & Derby, Leicester. Dark brown, translucent, with a tan creamy head. Lots of liquorice, charcoal, a touch of blackberry in the nose. Sweet taste with a slight medicinal bitterness. Medium to long finish with lots more liquorice in the aftertaste. Heavy body with soft carbonation. Not a bad brew.
