Cask. Deep amber colour with a small off-white head, which disappears quite fast. Aroma is raisins, some mild toffee, mild nutty tones with some floral elements. Flavour is sweet raisins, toffee, nutty and some mild wooden tones too.

Cask at the brewpub. Pours mostly clear, deep gold with a foamy, white head. The nape has phenolic notes, banana chips, wheat bread. Medium sweet flavor with more notes of banana and doughy wheat bread, low bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with more of the same: doughy wheat, ripening banana, faint hay. So so.

Cask handpull at The Foundry 5.8% clear russet. No head. Sour ish premium bitter. Strawberry flavour. It’s a little earthy. A bit flat. A little disappointing some bitterness on the finish. Hmmm

Cask at brewpub, Canterbury. Amber-copper color, vanishing head. Strong medicinal aroma with hints of raisins. Light-bodied. Flavor is also medicinal with sweet raisins. Mellows to English earthy hops with hints of nuts. Duh.
