May 31, 2008 Cask, have written down 4.5% in my notes, and called the pub up to ask if this is right, and according to the pumpclip it is 4.5%. The Cask didn’t state any abv. Very deep rubyish colour with small beige head. Aroma is mild caramel and roasted malts along with some chocolate and mild fruityness. Flavour is mild roast along with some woodenness and mild chocolate. A bit watery in the palate. Otherwise nice.
