Cask at the Cask, 30/08/13. Mahogony brown with a good sized tan covering. Nose is dark malts, hop notes, toffee, brown sugar, faint tropical fruit tang. Taste comprises bready malts, sugar, toffee, biscuit, earthy hoppy backbone, light pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Nice stuff - a hopped up affair making for a drinkable drop in this otherwise tedious and ’made up’ style !
