Cask @ Salopian, the pub. Pours black, off-white collar atop. Creamy milk chocolate on the nose. Taste presents smooth, full, creamy textures with a great milk chocolate character, soft bitterness. Surprisingly good.

Gravity cask at the Clarendon Park Club Winter Beer Festival. Very dark brown and only slightly translucent. Mostly flat with a liitle ringlet of off-white head and a lot of lacing. Chocolate, coffee, forest floor in the aroma. The taste is much more bitter than I'd expected, with a sharp finish borderinf on the astringent. Medium to full body for the ABV. Almost no carbonation in the mouth. A very decent mild.

Pours a dark brown colour with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, tobacco and bitter chocolate. A roasted malt, bitter chocolate flavours, burnt grains and a little smoke. Dry and bitter, I like it!
