On cask at Meridian Pint. Pours a clear orange with some lacing, white head. Nose of burnt peach cobbler, cracker, dried biscuit, some tree bark. Flavors of dried apricot, super dried pineapple cubes, over baked biscuit, some birch syrup. Very dry finish.

Gravity cask. Clear amber color, tan head. Aroma of bitter straw. The fruit and bitter combo with subtle whiskey didn’t do it for me.

Cask at Meridian Pint. Poured a rich copper color, slight haze with a thick, creamy looking head. Aroma was mildly sweet malts, cereal notes, a bit bready, a smattering of hops woven within the malts. Was expecting more.
