Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s roasted malts in the aroma, plus some hints of dark fruits. In the mouth it si fruity and slightly sweet with plent of liquorice and roasted malts. Later on there are traces of ginger and dark fruits, leading to a tangy finish. This is quite nice.
