Cask at The Hanging Bat. Pours clear amber, thick white head. Light citrus aromas, some light soapiness. This became a bit more pronounced on the taste, alongside some light hop bitterness and malted milk biscuit sweetness. Good overall, but the soapiness let it down.

Gravity dispense at Craft 100, Craft Clapham, 03/04/14. Light black with a thin tan covering that clears to the edge. Nose carries a smoked whisky tang, light roast, charred notes, toffee, rum & raisen fudge. Taste comprises tangy dark berry fruits, subtle whisky BA, light spice, toffee, touch of roast malt. Medium bodied, pretty flat and lakcing condition, drying close laced with subtle smokey whisky pangs. Decent enough but lacked condition, gravity dispense let down!
