Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. An attractive opaque reddish mahogany pour with a tight tan head; fruity coffee bean aroma; smooth and sweet with a milky body, some nice crystal malts and brown sugar; then a dry lactic finish with some caramelised nuts. To me, this is more like a dark mild than a milk stout - I’m also puzzled by the absence of the expected chocolate.
