Cask at Greyhound, Stafford. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a medium sized foamy tan head. The aroma is mainly coffee with some hints of alcoholic strength. In the mouth it is sweet and very smooth with a creamy texture. Flavour has coffee and malts with some vanilla and a trace of cola . Sweetness lasts into the somewhat watery finish. Bit of a beer of two halves this – I was very keen on it to start with but in the end it was just too sweet for me.
