Cask at Flowerpot, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with minimal tan head and good lacing. The aroma is a combination of malts, lactose and vanilla. Toast malts again the mainstay in the mouth, along with cola and liquorice, plus hints of ginger. It’s a bit thin and watery though. A little bitterness in the finish. Quite nice overall.
