Cask at Wigan Central, Wigan – though I have drunk it a number of times before. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small tan head. The aroma is mainly chocolate and roasted malts. Roast malts to the fore again in the mouth, along with liquorice and traces of coffee and lactose. Some saltiness too, leading to a significantly dry finish. This is very nice – certainly packs a punch.
