1/3 pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Clear mahogany coloured body, dotted spots from a low, beige head. Promising caramel-fruity aromas. Fine balanced taste of bread, caramel, and a piney touch to a satisfying bitter sweet ending. Well crafted for the low abv. (Rating no. 23000). (Burton Upon Trent, 16.02.2023).
