Light hops, heavy on the grains. a Good malty, and grainy flavor, but really this is not even close to what i was expecting. I was expecting a much hoppier ale, very disappointing. Gimme some Bitter and twisted any day over this!

Аромат солодовый в целом, хотя нотки от хмеля есть, чисто европейские. Немного цитруса и меда, но очень на тоненького. Цвет золотой, пенка средняя но стойкая. Вкус чересчур горький, слишком много хмеля забивает весь вкус. Хотя нотки цитруса и корочки от них очень сильные, но мед пропал и почти вся сладость. Послевкусие горькое и хмелевое. В целом в общем не зашло.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Pours black with small beige head. This one turned out to be quite a mellow stout with lots of chocolate but a bit light on the roasted malt character even though it wasn't a milk stout. I did pick up a hint of liquorice. Nice smooth creamy mouthfeel. OK.
