Cask at the source. It pours jet black with no head whatsoever. The aroma is earthy, charred, bittery-sweet, cheap plain chocolate, fudge and roast. The taste is earthy, leather, sticky, sweet, chewy, chocolate, burnt tires, waxy and earthy plastic with a dry, waxy plastic finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Flat and a bit plasticy. Very so - so.
