Cask at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
The color is dark brown, almost black, the head is frothy and small of course; a bit colder than a British cask, the temperature seems right. It has a mild aroma of caramel, darker sugars, and very light herbs. Good mouthfeel, soft and round; the caramel flavor is very good, there are traces of darker caramel too, and a pleasant herbal presence (rhubarb candies, Italian Amaro digestives), well compounded by a light sweetness; correct bitterness. The final is quite long, blend of caramel and bittering herbs, balanced.
Very well brewed.
