On tap at Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell, pours a dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma of dry caramel malts, and mild, restrained floral hops. Flavour brings out dry caramel malt, pungent floral hops and some more toffee-ish malts. ABV is well-hidden. Mouthfeel is very full, very dry -- full of dry caramel malts. Highly drinkable, while still being fairly full-bodied for the style. Very good stuff.
