Armsby draught, 8/14/25.
Clear, dark cola-umber. Small, light-tan head steadily to ring.
Bright cherry, wood and maybe a touch of acetic? Maybe not. It's light, what very it is. But it smells quite acidic. Very light toast and chocolate on the end with a touch of bourbon. No alcohol noted.
Not that sour, in flavor though. Prominent cherry and light oak with a pinch of chocolate, toast and bourbon. Medium body, on the lighter side, though still malty and improved by the wood tannin. Dry and tart on the finish. Could stand a bit more maltiness here. Getting a ton of bright cherry and wood but not that much complexity, to be honest.
