Cask at the Hovelling Boat Inn - Ramsgate. Pours black-brown with a slight, creamy head. Milk chocolate in the nose, light roast, hints of berries. Medium sweet flavour with subtle bittersweet cocoa, scorched earth, ripening berries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet too bush, with hints of burnt marshmallow, chocolate, berries, faint toasted toffee. Enjoyable.

Cask gravity at Ales of the Unexpected, Westbrook. Clear dark brown beer. I rather liked it. A traditional brown bitter, brown malts, some hops, I happily drank a half and then had most of AndrewC’s half too.
