Sample from cask at the 10th annual Barley’s Mini Real Ale Fest on 05/04/13: The beer is a clear garnet color with a thin light beige head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, cherries and oak. Medium body with flavors of grainy malt, cherries and a touch of chocolate. The finish is mildly tart with a cherry and malt aftertaste. Decent overall.
