From cask at The Lyric, near Piccadilly Circus with Sigmund 21.09.22. Translucent dark orange amber. Dense and persistent off-white head and lacing. Absolutely superb aroma and taste of pale malt, crustal malt, amber malt, succade, dried fruits and mellow bitterness. This must be as close as one can get to the ultimate bitter. Served in perfect nick. Excellent!
