Cask, The Crown, Belfast. Cloudy somewhat gloomy appearance, think it was brown, but hard to tell under those gas lamps...Some nice fragrant hops in the aroma, with caramel malt and nuts too. Similar themes resonated in the flavour which was surprisingly complex. Dryish, gently bitter finish. Really quite good.
