330ml bottle. Pours a mucky brown, small off-white head. Lovely resonant fruity fragrance, wheat. Flavour continues with a confident sweetness, grainy moments on the palate, sweet malt.. nicely presented, great balance.

31/1/2020. Cask at the 13th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Pours clear amber / copper with minimal head. Aroma of toffee, wheat, light wood, fruit, sweet malt and leather. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, flat carbonation. Alcoholic and leathery woody finish. Good stuff, doesn't quite have to intensity of the oak cask version. but aroma of this one is even nicer.

Gravity cask at the Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2015. Ominous golden brown. Almost flat, but there are wisps of white head. Aroma not up to much. Vinous alcohol, prunes, hints of rose petals. The taste however is phenom. Big sweet boozy sips deliver wheat spiciness, fruity sweetness and deep, deep alcohol burn. Hoppy bitter finish survives the taste bud apocalypse. Nice palette but I could do with more carbonation.
