Creamy off white head on a reddish brown coloured body. Red berry, liquorice & fruity aroma. Medium bodied, soft & smooth with sharp dry back. Malt, caramel, toffee, berry & spiced tastes with a bitter finish. Nice enough.

Cask tasted at the Standing Order (11/08/2016). Clear red amber colour with minimal white head. Aroma of caramel, nuts and malts. Taste is almost the same, nuts and malts with some caramel on the background. Soft carbonation and watery aftertaste. Next one please!
