Cask at CP&K. It pours deep brown, with a thin foamy, off-white head. The nose is overpowering sulphur/rotten-egg and maybe some roasted malt. The taste is roasted malt, caramel, nut, wood, farmyard and earth, with a big dry finish. Light to medium body and soft carbonation. The smell destroys the enjoyment of drinking this beer.
