Cask handpull at Wenlock. Chestnut colour with thin beige head. Nice malty/hop aroma. Malt aroma itself is very impressive. More malt in mouth then some hop/herb finish with a bit of ginger. Bit watery in mouth. Aroma is better than the rest

Cask at the Wenlock Arms, London
Very dark color. Nice aroma: roasted malt, toffee. Medium body, delicate roastiness, never aggressive, quite harmonious. Not extremely complex, but fully enjoyable.
