On cask @ the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - dark coffee brown with a nice creamy head. Nose - some chocolate, coffee and dried fruit, probably apricots. Taste - more biscuity, but still plenty of coffee and the cream is still there too. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced finish. Overall - it was on keg and a little colder than I normally would have an ale. It improved as the ale went down and I wonder what the result would’ve been on cask. Good, I think!
