Handpull cask at the Glass Works, Whittington Moor, Chesterfield. Mahogany, translucent with a small beige head. Clove and dark chocolate in the aroma. Sweet taste, festive spices, some horehound and boiled sweet. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Okay, not a proper Belgian dubbed but bloody close enough. Masterful.

Cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours dark reddish-brown with minimal off-white head. There’s malts and cola in the aroma. In the mouth, it is somewhat watery with roasted malts and a little smokiness. Hints of chocolate and cola as well. Nothing actually wrong with it, but very nondescript particularly considering its strength.
