Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester Bought this because of the name (it’s a Nick Cave song), and wasn’t expecting a 7% beer, so review maybe somewhat skewed. Pours an orange-red with a tight cream head. Nose is dominated by alcoholic strength (brandy, schapps etc). In the mouth there is corn-cob, oranges, some malts, and the ever-present brandy, which lasts into the finish. A good traditional IPA, but shows it’s strength too much.
