Cask at The Justice Mill, Aberdeen. It pours clear golden with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is spicy upfront, woody, brown bread, biscuit, touch of caramel and some pine. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, woody, spicy, nutty, twiggy, chewy, biscuit and some leather with a drying finish. Light to average body and moderate carbonation (for cask). Nice aroma on this, which made me hopeful, but the taste is a bit earthy and twiggy. Fair.

In the mouth it is light and sweet, but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour has caramel and citrus with a little hoppiness. Later on there are traces of herbs and spices. Finish is quite bitter and slightly sticky. This is OK, but rather bland.
