DruncanVeasey (5146) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - NOV 9, 2010
Cask handpull, The Crown, Nuneaton. Deep chestnut glow, slim cappuccino collar. Good nutty, lightly buttered aroma; sesame and milk chocolate like dried milk, milky milk chocolate with nuts: Hershey’s Mr Goodbar? Nutty and autumnal; hazelnut dusted with cocoa, gentle roasted finish, milk chocolate praline. Has a hint of sick and a lick of old barrel about it. I don’t mind Cottage one bit.
