7/11/2025. Cask at the 13th Beccles Beer Festival. Pours fine. Aroma is roasted malts, ashy, oaty, camp coffee, dark chocolate, hedgerow berries. Quite sweet oatmeal taste, moderate bitterness, ashy, drying, with just an edge of tartness. Medium body, light carbonation. Bittersweet slightly clammy finish. Started quite well, did fade a bit.
