Cask at the Euston Tap - London. Pours clear gold with a fine, bubbly-foamy white head. Nose holds lots of dried grapefruit, mango and orange. Light to medium sweet flavor with more orange and grapefruit, some mild tropical fruits, lightly sugary pale malts, white bread, straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly dry to finish, some straw and hay, dry pale malts, bits of orange and lemon. Very tasty stuff. Well balanced.

Black pint with a decent foamy head. Aroma is dark chocolate and a hint of malt.Livelier on the tongue than I expected and the taste is less sweet than I imagined. It doesn’t have as much body as you’d expect of a stout and the flavour isn’t as sweet as I anticipated, it’s surprisingly dry. Not at all what I thought it would be and possibly better for it. It’s not my favourite of this style but it’s quite drinkable all the same.
