(Cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, London, 23 Nov 2011) Reddish brown colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, caramel and sour cherries. A hint of cinnamon? Malty, roasted taste with oak wood, vanilla, sour cherries and a bitter-sweet finish with a touch of chocolate. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Interesting and quite different. Not everyone will like it, but after some contemplating I found it very nice.
