Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2011. Black beer with lasting dark beige head. Dark cherry liquer choc aroma. Oh I am going to enjoy this. Man this is just pure artificial rubbish. Completely undrinkable. No brewing faults just really horrid. Steve liked it so it must have rubbish. Aroma is just about ok.
