Cask, handpump at the Dragon Inn, Worcester 12-12-09 Pours black or as near black as I can tell in this slightly dim light, there is an off-white filmy head and a rim of small bubbles around the edge. Light roasty notes & touch nutty on nose nut there is a very slight chemical taint, maybe washing up liquid? The taste is much like the aroma nutty and roasty. This is a tasty stout but one half was enough before I fancied trying something different. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov13 3.4
