Cask (gravity) at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a murky chestnut with minimal off-white head. The aroma is sweet with dried fruit and nuts. Fruity again in the mouth, where it is quite sharp and slightly fizzy. There’s a creamy texture with autumn fruits the main flavour. Later there is a slight spiciness as well. Finish is quite fruity. This is a decent mild.
