Cask at the Cask, Pimlico - 19/10/12. Very dark mahogony brown approaching black in colour with a thin tan head that soon clears to the edge. Roast malt nose and strange plastic/chemical tones. Taste follows the nose, roast malt and this strange mix of plastic, herbs and light medicinal qualities. Medium bodied with little carbonation leading to a slightly astringent finish. Left half of my half pint - sums it up pretty much!
