Cask at Sun, Stafford Pours mahogany brown with a small cream head and good lacing. Nose features almonds and a hint of vanilla. In the mouth texture is sweet and creamy with soft carbonation. Taste varies between caramel, dandelion & burdock, raisins and chocolate – depending on the area of the mouth ! Finish is initially bitter, but fadesw slowly to nutty. Nice and drinkable – and surprisingly complex for such a low strength.
