Heart Of Oak from Acorn Brewery

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 9th June 2017. Gold with disappearing off-white film and spot lacing. Intense biscuit malt aroma with fruits and a touch of spice. Richly fruity in-mouth with peach, plum and citrus over a nutty malt. A malty finish, but not over sweet. Zingy mouthfeel and a fair amount of body.
