Cask hand pull at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A dark brown coloured pour with ruby red hues and a thin beige head. Aroma is sweet vanilla walnuts, hazelnut, coco powder. Flavour is composed of semi sweet nutty brown malts, sweet toffee and dried fruits. Palate is medium sweet moderate cask condition . Decent.

Cask @ Moon Under Water, Manchester. Extremely dark red with a small creamy head. Crisp dark ale with very light tasting dark malts and a very gentle sweetness.

Deep brown/black with a small tan head. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Some nuttiness and roasted malt with dry finish but for me a bit light on flavour.
