Cask at Moon under Water, Wigan. Pours “bitter brown” with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. Plenty of malts in the aroma, and also some nutty hints. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture, but also a little underlying sweetness. Flavour has roasted malts, traditional hops and spices with hints of ginger coming through later. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent.
