Cask at Victoria, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a msall cream head and good lacing. The aroma has roast malts and fudge – plus a hint of mushrooms ! In the mouth it starts out bitter and slightly fruity, with floral hops, ash and coffee grounds . After a while dark fruits and regular malts come through as well. Finish is bitter and slightly dry. This is decent enough, gets more flavoursome as it warms uo.
