Okay deep amber body and disappointing foam. Kind of a floral molasses aroma that's quite nice. Taste is mellow caramel, sweet molasses, ends smooth and mostly full, slightly bitter finish Not bad.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Almost clear amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, modest carbonation. Smooth malts, little creamy sweetness. Touch of caramel. Okay ripe citrus, especially ripe orange and grapefruit. Light semi dry finish. Fine. Clean and not annoying.
