Cask at the The Sun Inn Summer Beer Festival, Kelvedon. Hazy dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Light semi dry palate. Lovely dark chocolate. The barmaid said Bourneville and she is spot on! Underneath is well integrated mild fruits and red berry fruits. Vaguely Terry’s Chocolate Orange but much more sophisticated and more complex than that. Great stuff.
