Bottle at home. No fizz when popping the cap....It pours hazy golden with a small bubbly head. The nose soft, malt-driven, fresh bread, hay, light sweetness and earth. The taste is bitter, bready, toasted grass, grain, citrus peel, spice and biscuit with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Actually pretty tasty, just a shame about the lack of carbonation...

Cask at The Hanging Bat. Pours clear dark amber little to no bubbly white head. Aromas are honey, raisins, going to toffee. Taste has more raisin sweetness. More like an 80/ to me. Nice though.
