Cask @ Harlequin Sheffield. Dark brown color. Caramel in the aroma. Caramel, grapes and a bit of earthy hops in the flavor. A vague fruity finish. Not too good.

Cask @ The Halequin, Sheffield.
Pours deep caramel amber with a nice, medium, creamy, white head. Sweet caramel aroma, light berries and a touch of roasted malts. Low carbonation, perhaps just a wee bit hin. Sweet flavour, lots of toasted caramel and soft roasted malts. Low flowery bitterness in the finish. Reminds me of a Kilkenny a bit.

275ml bottle from Shropshire. Vintage 1990. 4% abv. Dark red/brown appearance. Very malty with some nutty sweetness. Very drinkable. Few hops - a dusty bitterness late in the finish. Surprisingly good.
