Cask at Wellington, Brum. Opaque yet dark and glossy. Beige head retreats to the rim. Aroma has cacao with a light tangy edge. Also coffee. Flavourwise the berries lead the way followed by creamy mocha. Medium bodied. Stick to creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.
