Cask at GBBF. It pours clear deep brown with a medium, bubbly white head. The aroma is earthy, musty, wood, brown bread, oily, fruit cake, dusty, chewy and leather. The taste is drying, bitter, oily, brown bread, robust, spicy, chewy, leather, fruit cake, leather and tannin with a drying and boosty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Robust. Not bad.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear amber beer, a few short lived pale.tan bubbles. Smooth palate, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Smooth malts, thin caramel sweetness, touch of toffee. Dried fruits. Mild spice and esters. Dry finish. Good malts. Reckon this would be better on key keg.
