Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 13th February 2026. Intensely dark sepia ruby with minimal foam soon decaying to a circumferential ring, yet affording scant lacing. Rich and intense roast maltiness in aroma. Fiery and smoky notes characterise a vibrant roastiness in-mouth, after which a long and smoky finish lingers. Medium bodied with a smooth texture. Superb.
