Cask at Calverts Court, Stockport. Pours a dark ruby with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts with some hints of dark fruits. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with a creamy texture with plenty of malts in evidence plus cherries and a hint of ginger. Some cola comes through later as well. Finish is slightly bitter. This is a pretty good traditional bitter.
