Cask at Bay Horse Inn, Totnes. Low key malty aroma. Dark amber-brown. Frothy off-white head. A low key mix of malts and boiled veg with some caramel sweetness. Gets more sugary into the finish. Light bodied. Thin with some slickness. Lazy average carbonation. Abrupt finish. Yes it is seasonable. I like it more than I want to. Has a cheekiness that keeps it from being bland.
