Handpull cask at the Quakerhouse, Darlington. Very dark brown, a little translucent, with a tiny uneven khaki/tan head. Malty aroma, some chocolate. A little balsamic vinegar. Taste has a lot more sweet chocolate & a little cherry. Bittering hops coat the tongue for the finish. Something else - maybe tobacco leaf? - on the aftertaste. Light, almost watery body with soft carbonation. Not much to it, not bad but maybe a little disappointing.
