Fairly straightforward but really nice. Malty chocolateyness with a distinct but not overpowering raspberry twang that lasts through to the aftertaste. Very drinkable indeed.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - opaque black with a thin off white head. Nose - slightly sweet almost confected raspberry. Strawberry laces. Taste - again confected raspberry note dominates. The creamy chocolate comes late and only just pokes its head in. Palate - creamy and medium bodied. Fairly dry finish. Overall - they may be guilty of over engineering here. Maybe fewer raspberries would've made a more enjoyable beer.

8th Dec 2018; cask half-pint in the Bridgnorth Wetherspoon pub. Funny Christmas beer really, nothing linking it to the season apart from the pump clip. Golden body, white topping. Weak and uninteresting, slight citrus leanings in both the aroma and taste, but pretty bland all round for a wintertime brew.
