Cask at the Reading beer festival. Deep amber. Chocolate, wood and a dry finish. As per the base beer this is decent, but I’m not sure that the oak aging has made any real impact. If anything, the dryness of the oak detracts from the richness of the underlying beer. A rare disappointment from XT; it’s still a good beer, just not quite up to the normal high standard of this brewery.
