Cask half @ Alexandra Hotel, Derby after a walk at Kiddleston Hall. Dark pour, clear I'd say. Cream coloured topping. Aroma has burnt malt, mild coffee. A bit watery and placid to taste, but there are distant chocolate, coffee and dark malt notes to be found.

Keg at the Canalhouse, Leicester. Very dark brown, brodering on black. Opaque with a small beige head. Roast malt in the surprisingly light aroma. Beautifully balanced taste, with a dogged bitterness from the earthy hops and scorched malt pushing away any sweetness from the initial sip. Medium to heavy carbonation. Not bad at all.
