Cask gravity at the Prae Wood Arms beer fest. A hazed burnt orange amber coloured pour with a lasting creamy off white head. Aroma is semi sweet, woody, bark, ginger, nutty malts. Palate is semi sweet, flaky grains, moderate carbonation. Flavour is composed of thin wet grains, wet grassy hop, nutty malts,. Bit boring and watery
