Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours dark ruby with a small off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of malts and autumn fruits. In the mouth it is fairly sweet and quite juicy with prominent flavours of dark fruits and apples and a trace of malts. Later on there are hints of toffee and butterscotch. Finish is quite fruity. This is reasonable enough.
