Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 4 - London. Pours clear red-brown with a creamy off-white head. Good nose, some lightly tangy dried fruits, toasted grains. Light sweet flavor with further lightly tangy old berries, some beat-up leather, earthy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet to conclude, with toasted bread sugars, more old berries. Not bad.
