Spectrum Old Stoatwobbler

Hand-pulled cask. Dark as pitch, only covered by a few bubbles on the top. Sweet, dark malty aroma with notes of coffee. Complex flavour with a core of tart cherry and late fruits woven into a dark malty backbone with hints of anise. Bittersweet endnotes. Well bodied ale.
This rating completes my drinking sessions at The Great British Beer Festival. Great festival with splendid arranged rating conditions - I love to return in 2009! (09.08.2008).

Pours deep red, almost black. A small, fizzy, off-white head on top. Very sweet arom, lightly roasted, some milk chocolate and lots of brown sugar. Low carbonation, a bit thin. Flavour is very sugary, some mild roastiness to balance. Far too sweet for me.
