Cask at the Royal Oak, Saundersfoot. Black with a thick creamy beige head. Very smooth and rather thick and heavy- almost too much so, certainly at lunchtime when I had it. Chocolate is prominent, with a mild roasty malt and a touch of blackcurrant. The flavours are maybe a little weak for the strength and viscosity, and it feels like it needs something to cut through it a bit more. Still quite enjoyable though.
