| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 26, 2009 Cask - Unicorn Inn, Canterbury. A very dark brown colour with a creamy, small though slowly dissipating off-white head, leaving a nice smooth surface and glass lacing. Some roasted malts, chocolate and light fruit tones on the nose. A combination of tobacco and fruits form the flavour profile. A soft, delicate palate texture with a lasting roasted bitter finish. A tasty, moreish mild. Nothing mindblowing, but I could easily have had pint after pint of this. fonefan (11818), VestJylland, Denmark
