Oct 4, 2008 Cask - Wetherspoons, Canterbury. A dark brown coloured beer with a healthy and lasting deep tan head. Aromas are sweet and bready with some red berries mingled amid others such as caramel. Roasted malt flavours give a tobacco-like characteristic in the flavour department along with more dark, fruity flavours. Fairly mild in body, but a winner nevertheless.

Aug 21, 2008 Pint pulled at the Sheep’s Heid some time ago. However, I still remember decent stout, though one that was typically unoffensive. Sure was a good pub.
