Cask at GBBF 2017 - London. Pours clear orange with a bubbly head. The nose holds oily pine, bread, ripe oranges. Big sweet flavour, boozy, some gooey pine, jammy citrus. Full bodied, chewy, with soft carbonation; so so condition. Hot finish, resinous and boozy. Just OK overall.

Full draft pour to enjoy my new home purchase. Poured a dark copper, like light muddy brown with a small wispy, tan head. Aroma was sweet malts, roasted toffee notes, with some light spice and vanilla oak notes. Booze comes through, but it’s mellow and not harsh. Some zesty, light citrus notes.
