Cask at the Chippenham Folk Festival. Dark brown with a beige head. Smooth, rich mouthfeel. Lots of black coffee. Treacle tart and plain chocolate. A little bit of fig. Just the right amount of roastiness to balance the sweetness. Lovely stuff, liked this one a lot.

Richly roasty in-mouth with subtle spices. A roasty finish with hints of herbs and roast coffee. Medium to full bodied with an engaging texture.
