Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. A glossy black pour with a thin tan head; fruity chocolate aroma; smooth and creamy in the mouth, with a dry drinking chocolate taste to start, then with some fruity blackcurrant and red berry flavours; followed by a sweeter finish with a touch of coffee grounds. Satisfying.
