Cask @ Abel Heywood, Manchester. Copper with a creamy head. Has an initial chocolate burst that gives way to a more malty bitter after a while, but there’s still elements evident, certainly in its nose that retains a dry aroma in this respect. Has a medium bitterness.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the brewery tasting room (Mr George’s Windmill bar) on 1 April 2013. Dark body: deep amber in colour with a white crown on top. Malty chocolate notes in both the taste and smell: bitter finish to an otherwise semi-sweet yet fairly dry beer. Body depth suited the flavours and alcohol level, all in all a pleasant beer.
