Clear dark amber to walnut colour, medium sized slightly beige-ish off-white head; aroma of toasted rye bread, fruity and nutty notes, as well as some biscuits; taste has the same notes (with some woody tones) with obviously much less intensity; anyway, it's a beer with around 4 percent ABV, so this somehow watery taste should't be criticized

Cask at the Cock Inn, Attleborough. Light brown, almost tawny. Cedar, underripe berries, a bit of astringency in the nose. Taste is malt led but with a good dollop of sour bitterness. Long grainy finish. Just the right hit of astringency. Special.
