Cask at Tap at No 76, Ashby-de-la-Zouch - Nearly black with reddish hue, cream head. Chocolate notes come through in nose and taste, not getting much in the way of cherry, but still nice enough.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby Pours a very dark red with a small cream head. Nose is a heady mixture of chocolate and cherries (surprise, surprise). In the mouth there is an initial smoothness reminiscent of cream soda. Then all the other flavours start kicking in, black cherries, raisins, dandelion & burdock, dark chocolate. The finish concentrates on cherries. This is absolutely gorgeous !

Gravity cask at the Town Street Tap, Duffield. Dark brown, quite translucent, with a suggestion of off-white head. Aroma gives chocolate biscuit, some dark malt, a little nuanced bit of stone fruit. Tastes far more impressive, with an earthy bitter hop bearing down on the initial chocolate-laden sweetness. Flat, oily body. Nice.
