Cask at Crewe Dog. Pours a murky chocolate brown with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is mainly malts with some hints of rye. In the mouth it’s reasonable enough to start off with malts, nuts and rye plus hints of ginger and spice. However, after a while a harsh metallic bitterness comes in and turns the dominant flavour to cough mixture ! Not at all keen on this one.
