Cask at the Alexandra Arms during my Super Crawl around Cambridge (I think it was the Alexandra, at least). Pours clear, red-brown with a lingering, tan cream cap. Sweet milk chocolate nose. Light sweet flavor with mellow roast, light dirt, char, milk chocolate, some tangy dark fruits. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faint dryness at the end, with lightly chalky dark malts, further milk chocolate, subtle roast. OK.
