Gravity cask at the 2016 Cambridge Beer Festival. Reddish brown, clear, with a small cream-coloured head. Leather, woodsmoke and printer ink in the bouquet. Sweet taste turning to smoky sour toward the finish. Tannic aftertaste. Thin body. A well-executed smoked beer.

Bottle thanks to Colin. It pours clear deep brown with a beige head. The nose is toasty, earthy, smoked action, tobacco, smoked meats and slight medicinal vibe. The taste is clean, bitter, toasty, bitter, spiced, brown bread, smoked malts and some ashy action with a lingering, dry smoked finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fine smoked affair.
