Cab at Level 42. It pours clear deep brown with a thick light tan head. The aroma is sweet, tangy, dried fruits, fruit cake, berry and candy. The taste is sweet, sticky, toasty, earthy roast, umami, seaweed, resin, leather, spice, charred stuff and liquorice. Medium body and mdoerate carbonation. Has some unusual aspects to it, but not bad overall.

Keg at Brewery on the Club Members Night, Thursday 2nd March 2017 Almost black in colour, but there is a tinge of red that shows at the bottom of the glass, large creamy textured head that is also cream coloured. Roasty, with a dry finish, really dry, fruity mid bitterness. Nice, easily the best so far. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5
