Interesting, if a touch unrefined. Some tarry bitterness, ashy cocoa, burnt sugars. Earth. Lingering ashy roast and baking cocoa. Not bad.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] An amber pour with a close white head; fruity aroma; quite oily in the mouth with a taste of peach and nectarine, and a smooth grainy body; then a lingering bitter finish. Very pleasant.

Chestnut brown with a small frothy white head and a toffee malt and mellow floral hop aroma. Light to medium bodied, has a touch of chewiness to it, sweet toffee, maybe some chocolate, floral hops lighten it and offer a touch of bitterness, finishes dry and bittersweet.
