Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours almost black with minimal head. There’s roasted malts, nuts and chocolate in the aroma here. Has a smooth creamy texture in the mouth. Bags of flavour too, peanuts, darks fruits, roast malts and liquorice plus the inevitable alcoholic strength. A bit of a mish mash, but very nice.
