On cask at the Guildford Arms.
Appearance - close to matt black. Beige head.
Nose - some chocolate and sweet spices.
Taste - more of the same, cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate.
Palate - medium bodied, sweet and lightly spicy.
Overall - each sip got more and more sickly. The pumpkin was completely disguised by the overkill of sweet spices.
