(Cask at White Horse, Parson's Green, London, 18 Nov 2023) Copper colour with creamy, beige head. Malty nose with caramel, dried fruit and apricots. Malty taste with notes of caramel, biscuits, apricots, dried fruit and a balanced earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.
