Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Deeper golden coloured with a creamy head. Has a tasty grainy-bitterness, but not that bitter. There’s a hint of chocolate in its taste.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear deep brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is earthy, bitter - sweet, gravel, coffee, hint of plastic and balsamic vinegar. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, caramel, dried fruits, toast, pepper and fruit cake with a mellow finish. Light+ body and soft carbonation. I am not so keen on the aroma, but found it to be well-rounded and drinkable enough.
