Cask (handpump) @ Marble Arch, Manchester M4, UK. Clear dark brown color with a average, creamy - forthy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, burnt, coffee. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (190108)

A Sim rate (cask at the Marble Arch Inn): Chocolate, caramel and nuts. Such an addictive aroma. Glorious head and lacing. Opaque black with a red tinge. Red wine, port, and plum flavour. Bitter, but gorgeous brandy finish. So delightful.
