Cask at Costelloe’s Bar, Warrington (not yet listed in RateBeer). Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small scummy off-white head. Malts and dark fruits are the mainstays of the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity though with a slightly watery texture. Flavour has malts and wine gums with later on some hints of cola. Sweetness lasts into the finish. This is quite decent, though a little bland.
