Cask at the Euston Tap - London. Pours clear, rich gold with a tight, creamy topping. The aroma holds a bit of lightly toasted bread, orange, nips of toasted sugars and, yes, some leaves. Light to medium seet flavor with slight caramel, some further bready malt structure, ripening orange. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; great condition. Well balanced to finish with more moderate bready malts, some orange citrus, faint bites of leaf and wood. Lovely bitter. Super drinkable.

Light sweet flavor with further ash, torched earthy bitterness, faint cocoa. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. More ashy roast on the finish, burnt toast, earth, old leather, charred meat. OK overall.
