Draught at the brewery
Murky light brown color. It’s moderately sweet, it has herbaceous hops, light apple aroma; I wouldn’t think there is barrel. But you are basically drinking a yeast soup. Not good.

Ugly dull brown, no head. Medicinal phenols, sweet and funky, yeasty and not a positive phenol.

Draft - Medicinal and a touch of acetone. Cloudy brownish. Woody and a touch of bitterness and a touch of odd nail polish.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a filthy, sludgy orangey brown with a small beige head. Aroma is very earthy and abrasive, with woody oak and English bready malt. Flavour is just nasty, with sludgy earthy malt, a touch of oak, and English malt. Earthy, sludgy and gross.
