Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light mahogany, slightly translucent with a large and slightly loose off-white head. Chocolate malt and touches of stone fruit in the surprisingly muted aroma. It's delicious though: a cherry sweetness persists in the initial taste, followed with some astringent but not over-heavy bitterness. The bitterness is pronounced in the long finish with some stone fruit. Soft carbonation. Nice.
