Cask at the Audley, Mayfair. It pours clear copper - brown with a thick, bubbly off - white head. The aroma is fairly mellow... brown bread, bitter - sweet, caramel, raisin loaf and leafy vibes. The taste is firmly dry initially, then mellows, bitter - sweet, woody, sappy, resin, leather, toasted nut, slightly grassy/leafy, touch of spice and mild tannin with a drying, toothy finish. Average body and moderate cask carbonation. Don't think it would stand out in a crowd, but it drinks fine.

Cask gravity at the Watford beer festival 2025. A mostly clear nut brown amber coloured pour with a loose off white head. Aroma is big rustic grains, twig, woodland walk, toffee, jammy fruits. Flavour is composed of nutty malts, twig, toasted brown bread, bark. Astringent grains in the finish. Palate is dry and grainy, mellow cask condition. Not bad.
