Gravity cask at the Ale Wagon's 20th Birthday Beer Festival, Leicester. Light to mid reddish brown, clear with almost no head. Very little aroma, a bit of nondescript malty offerings alongside a sharp metallic character. Taste is much better: bittersweet with vanilla, tobacco, hazelnut carrying to the finish. Astringent hops are prominent in the aftertaste. A mixed bag.
