Gravity cask at the 2018 Nottingham Beer Festival, Motorpoint Arena. Reddish brown and clear with negligible amount of head. Woody aroma with just the lightest suggestion of astringency. Bittersweet taste with sugary raspberry notes and an oaky tartness in the long finish. Kumquat peel and TCP in the aftertaste. If only all cask bitters tasted this good!

2/5/2018. Bottle from CentrAle, Newcastle. Pours amber with a small lasting off-white head. Aroma of hop, malt, caramel, fruit, flowers and a hint of pine. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, very soft carbonation. Sweet biscuity finish with some increasing bitterness and a nutty edge. Didn't hugely appeal at start but was real grower. Favourite of the four I've had from this brewery so far.
