Handpull cask at the Shakespeare, Kelham Island. Unfortunately Queer Brewing will be winding down, so get their beer while you can. Dark brown and just a little bit translucent with a small uneven ring of tan head. Gentle malty aroma with light chocolate notes. Now this stout tastes wonderful. Sweet at first with all sorts of the typical notes bouncing around: chocolate, liquorice, ashy flavours. Turns fruity and bitter with lots of blackberry and plum with liquorice still hanging on the edge. Now, I struggle with stouts that have too much liquorice but this is great. Light to medium body with little carbonation.
