Sample from cask at the 12th annual Smokehouse Mini Real Ale Fest on 05/16/15: Dark brownish-amber color with a medium foamy beige head that dissipates gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, caramel and fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of earthy malt, caramel, fruit and slight earthy hops. The finish is sweet and malty up front with a touch of grassy hops in the aftertaste. Above average overall.
