Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a hazy dark brown with a small foamy cream head. Not much of an aroma – just vague maltiness. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with a little underlying bitterness and a watery texture. Flavour has malts and dried fruits with traces of vanilla and figs coming later. Finish is slightly dry. This is reasonable enough – though somewhat anonymous.
