Cask by stillage at One Inn The Wood, Petts Wood on 10th November 2025. Coppery brown with disappearing foam and transient lacing. Nutty maltiness in aroma. Richly malty in-mouth with nuttiness - hazelnut. Some leafy hops join the malts for a pleasant finish with a little bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel and a light body. Pleasant.
