Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Dark fruit and creamy coffee aroma. Dark cola brown. Bubbly off-white head. Light bitter with a mix of sweetness and sourness. Creamy berries with a touch of coffee. Light bodied. Thin but slick. Flat carbonation. Slightly astringent finish. When Insaw how thin and relatively light it was pouring I had my doubts. However it's fruity enjoyable stuff.
