Cask version at Castle West. Said to be "aged", if that be the right word, in cedar sake barrels for just 1 night! Pretty red color. Aroma of caramel, cherry, cedar, earthy hops, gumballs. Flavor is all of those plus a distinct tobacco note that was quite earthy and pleasant. Real ale version works well with smooth body. Nice stuff, definitely more interesting for the cedar.
