Bottle. Raisin, brown sugar, malt, and fresh hay aroma. Hazy brown with small head. Sweet raisin, brown sugar/toffee malt, and mildly bitter herbal hay flavor. Body on the lighter side. Nice.

Cask @ The Commercial Inn, Sowerby Bridge. Clear brown with a small head. Crisp enough for its strength with malts and dark winter fruit flavours and a gentle sweetness throughout.
