Cask at The Claret. It pours deep amber with medium beige head. The nose is earth, toast, wood, dark fruit and berry. The taste is wood, earth, leather, wood polish, decent bitterness, toast, orange peel and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A smooth, well balanced bitter. Good stuff.
