20/2/2020. Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer & Cider Festival 2020. Pours mid-brown with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of malt, nut, caramel, chocolate, dark fruits and a soapy edge. Moderate sweetness and light roasted bitterness. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation. I like a mild but this one’s not great.
