Third by hand-pulled cask at GBBF Winter, Jewellers Bar. Shared with Finn. Bubbly beige head to a deep mahogany coloured body, spotty lacing. Promising brittle caramel aromas, lightly spiced. Dark caramel flavours, some spices to it, and a coffee bite towards a mild roasted finish. Medium bodied. Pleasing. (Birmingham 05.02.2020).
