Marcus Aurelius from Milton Brewery
Rating: B
Sampled at Cambridge Winter Ale Fest, 2008
Appearance: not quite pitch black, small head that has good retention but each bubble is surprisingly large, if that makes sense. Some lace.
Smell: coffee, chocolate, and a slightly off-putting sourness that is worrisome.
Taste: thankfully, the sourness that is hinted at in the nose does not follow through to the flavor. Coffee, chocolate, roast, and slight toast notes predominate. Pleasant. Bitterness is solid, but hop character is nondescript.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, silky, carbonation a little light, but as expected in the UK out of a cask.
Drinkability: Moderate, a little high in alcohol for sessionability.
Serving type: cask
