Cask at Ship Aground, Stafford. Pours a very dark brown with a small foamy cream head. Coffee is the mainstay of the aroma, along with chocolate and roast malts. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour has cola, milk chocolate and roast malts, together with hints of lemon, nuts and vanilla. Finish is slightly bitter. This is rather nice – there’s a good dose of chocolate but it isn’t overdone.
