Cask at the Bury St. Edmunds Beer Festival with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is whisky, booze, woody, vanilla, toffee, chocolate, coffee and dried fruits. Very warming taste and full bodied. The woody alcohol taste dominates. So smooth and virtually no carbonation. Slight sourness developed to join the bitterness at the finish. A quite excellent effort and the clear beer of the festival.

22/8/2024. Cask at the 32nd East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival. Pours almost clear mahogany brown with a minimally bubbly head. Super aroma. Woody, vanilla, whisky, toffee, butterscotch, chocolate, coffee, sherry, dried fruits. Medium sweetness, moderate boozy bitterness, touch tart. Medium to full body, smooth, very soft carbonation. Warming, bittersweet, with a touch of alcohol sour in the finish. I never imagined I'd enjoy a GK beer as much as this.
