Served on cask at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy reddish brown color with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel and peppery wood notes. Taste is oak including wood and peppery notes, caramel, toffee and a bitter hoppy finish. I was surprised to hear this was aged on madeira as it doesn’t come through at all, though the oak certainly makes its presence known.
