I had this on cask at RB Yorktown, and then sampled the draft version. Quite a difference. I focus on the cask since that was the larger portion: Really smooth look, but the mouthfeel is a little too smooth. I’m told this cask was just put on the day I tried it, so it may need to sit a little more. Dark brown color which I could not see through, under a frothy tan head. The taste is hard to pick out, but that’s a hallmark of this style, wot. I get some ale fruitiness and some yeasty afterbite. The hops in the cask draw are very subdued. It leaves a milky aftertaste.
Now the draft version has a bit more going for it: it takes better to some CO2, and shows more of the subtle but supportive English hop profile. Despite the color (and description), I just catch very lightly roasted pale ale malts. Still, I’d this beer works best on regular draft.
