Tasted by a half pint at the Devonshire Cat, Sheffield. Served by a handpump w/ a sparkler. This is a product brewed by the micro-brewery based at the Hillsborough Hotel, Sheffield, which has two merchandised names: "Wellington" and "Crown".
A: deep dark mahogany in colour, coming with a thin dark beige head that dissipates fast to a thin cob-web foam, while the carbonation is rather low.
S: deeply caramely malty aroma and rich sweet dark chocolates dominate the nose; the rich aroma is quite fine actually, not coarse, but the sweetness comes slightly excessive. A touch of sulphur also emerges after a good swirl.
T: semi-sweet chestnutty+walnutty and chocolatey maltiness on a par with leather-ish hoppyness and savoury-sour-sweet yeastiness... slightly chewy, tannic, and spicy bitterness lingers in the end, leaving a substantive mouthfeel more than any concrete aftertaste.
M&D: quite thin and light in the texture and body, this is an easy-drinking brown ale w/o much complexity at all.
