[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading at 4.3% ABV] A reddish chestnut pour with a tight beige head; aroma of purple fruit with a touch of spice; luscious fruity taste with spiced plums and damsons; then a lingering bitter finish with more fruit. Seemingly very good- I rated it 3.8 at first. Then I read the other reviews and had a second, and was disappointed to find it sweeter and more treacly; along the lines of Hobgoblin, so I’ve adjusted my score a little.
