Cask. Nutty aroma. Semi-cloudy, dark chestnut colour. Malty, spicy flavour. Finish is slightly sour, but in the good way. This was the bottom of the cask.

A red-brown beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of berries, fruit, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of nuts, but also lesser notes of caramel on a dry roasty background, leading to a slightly dry hoppy end.
