Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton Pours almost jet black with a small beige head. The aroma was definitely chocolatey, but my nose wasnโt working correctly (got a cold) โ so there may have been more. In the mouth, the initial taste is mints and chocolate, but strangely this then turns into dark fruits. Finish is also fruity, with raspberries featuring. A bit strange all told.

Handpull cask at Broood@Vin Quatre, Leicester. Brownish gold and clwar with a large but quickly dissipating white head. Light aroma, where notes of gooseberry and grapefruit can be detected. Bittersweet taste with an influx of medicinal hop. Long astringent finish. Not impossible but it doesn't really work for me.
