Half-pint, cask shared with Finn at Isambard Kingdom Brunel (JDW). Patchy surface, spotty lacing, clear amber coloured body. Moderate malt-fruity smell, hints of caramel and ripe fruits. Blended taste of brown malts, dough and a marmalade touch. Bittersweet tail. Fair enough. (Portsmouth 23.10.2019).
