Handpull cask at London Beer Dispensary, Brockley. Light ruddy brown with a spotty beige head. Malty aroma, a little raisin, some woody character. Taste is very sweet at first, almost too sweet, then finishing nicely bitter. Light overripe citrus mixed in with the strong malty notes. Intensely good.
