Handpull cask from the Salmon, Leicester. Dark brown and a little translucent. A big ring of off-white head leaving loads of lacing. Aroma is dominated by liquorice, some treacle and black malts. Sweet, sweet taste.more liquorice, tempered with a touch of savoury yeast extract. Notable btterness in the finish. Light body, soft to no carbonation. Pretty hood but too kuch liquorice for me personally.
