Cask version at Winking Lizard’s 6th Annual Real Ale Fest (03/22/14): Brownish-black color with a medium light brown head that dissipates steadily. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, peanut butter and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet chocolate, roast malt and subtle peanut butter. The finish is sweet cocoa and malt. The cacao seems to temper the delicious peanut butter flavor of the original Still pretty good overall.
