cask @ Oliver Twist Aroma has nuts and resin. Flavour has resiny malt, some menthol-like hoppiness, grapefruit. Dry finish with lingering hoppiness. The hop profile isn't exactly my thing here.

Pours an almost clear dark amber colour with a small loose off-white head. Aroma is malty and light caramel with some fruity hop notes. A moderately sweet and moderately bitter taste, toasted malts, caramel flavours with a peppery bitter hop finish.

(Cask at Black Door, 20190921) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was small, white and it lasted long. Aroma had grass, earth and malts. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were earth, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was earthy and bitter. A pleasant and balanced brew with earhy and grassy notes.
