Cask@The Plough, Norwich. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, toffee and mild ashes in just about a perfect balance. Flavour is mild roasted notes, some coffee, caramel and mild wooden notes. Really pleasantly balanced. Bartender (the brewer, I think) said there is an 8 % version of this one in the plans...
