Medium sweet flavor with strong oak character, mild dry and leathery fruits, faint toast. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and oaky finish with vinous texture, ripe fruits, vanilla accents, moderate bitter earth and wood. Nice if you enjoy a bit of wood with your beer.

Cask at the Rake - Borough Market, London. Pours clear russet with a slight, filmy head. A bit juicier than the other versions, the oak is slightly less obvious, some sugary fruits, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky sweet finish with ripe fruits, slight orange and other juicy citrus, mild warmth. Very nice. Pretty dynamic.

Cask handpull at Brew Wharf. Clear mid brown beer lasting beige head. American hoppy aroma. Very sweet and malty in mouth. I can see why Ken liked it. Too sweet for me. Some nice strawberry jam flavour though. Quite stinging hop on the finish. A real sipper if a strong beer. Hops on end are quite astringent. Good interesting beer.
