It's floral, earthy and biscuity in all the right places with ultra smoothhhhhh mouthfeel and a colour evocative of stone-flagged floors, open fires and brass equine appendages.

Cask at the brewery taproom. Poured a slightly murky medium amber colour with a lasting bubbly off-white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt. The flavour is over moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, sugary toffee, biscuit, earthy, mineral, spicy hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Tasty and with lots going on, but way too sweet for my taste.

Cask at The Shakespeare, Sheffield, Yorkshire. An amber coloured pour with a healthy off white head on top. Malty, fruity standard English bitter. Very average indeed.
