On cask @ The Stockbridge Tap, 28/05/22. Appearance - deep amber with a nicely proportioned off white head. Nose - caramel, nuts and brown bread. Taste - caramel, candied orange and bready again. Palate - close to medium bodied, creamy middle and fairly clean finish with light roast. Overall - a decent example of the style.
