Cask conditioned at Coventry Beer Fest ’07. Dark brown with no head. Sweet and sticky throughout, not much of a cherry flavour and little of the chocolate malt, just clinging, overpowering sweetness. Not to my taste.

Pitch pint with heaped tan suds, poured fresh from the barrel at the brewery. Smoky-nosed, well-attenuated, roasty stout packed full of cocoa-rich chocolate bitterness and just enough cherry sourness to make it interesting. A skilled and well-rounded melding of flavours.
