6.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark mahogany with a little translucency and a smattering of khaki head. Light on the aroma but I'm getting a smattering of malt and red berries. Sweet and incredibly malty taste with a bitter/sour note creeping in toward the finish. Full, flat body. It's malty as you could imagine. But still a decent enough drop.
