Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Dark brown, a bit translucent with a ring of khaki/tan head. Aroma: Tootsie roll smell. If you've ever had one, you'll know what I mean. Big chocolate lying sweet taste with blackberry overtones. Some odd bitter/sourness nearing the finish which throws the balance right off. Hate to go in about a 'rare mis-step' but... yeah, I am struggling with this one more than I should for an impy.

Cask @ Cafe Beermoth, Manchester. Dark clear amber with a creamy-frothy head. High on honey in taste, its sweetness is certainly subdued by its strength, and has a similar nose in this respect.
