Draught keg at Three Wise Monkeys, Ipswich. Dark brown, a little translucent with a thin film of beige/khaki head. Milky aroma, some Robusta coffee, light chocolate. Pleasant if not overly impressive. Loving the taste though, gently sweet without overpowering, and a very light balancing bitterness near the finish. It dosant blow you away with its presence but it doesn't need to. An enjoyable pre-match beer.
