From wooden cask, 6.2 % abv, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Black in the glass, naked at the top, dotted spots on the glass. Malt-fruity smell, fruity chocolate. Quite well blended taste character of dark bread, chocolate and canned fruits. Ends mid-sweet, lightly roasted. Fine bodied. Likable. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).

26/1/2020. Cask sample from Manchester Beer Festival courtesy of danlo and SHIG. Cheers! Pours clear pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is earthy, malty, slightly fruity, nutty pistachio and a hint of camp coffee. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite enjoyed this.
