Handpull cask (5.4%) at the Blue Boar as part of their 2020 Night and Day Festival. Dark gold, clear with a thin film of white head. Ripe tropical fruits especially papaya, some ammonia, a touch of white grape. Sweet taste and quite malt-led with notes of rich tea biscuit and more grape with a little juicy hop bitterness in the finish. Oily body, next to no carbonation. A decent beer.

Taste comprises dark malts, toffee, charr, roasted tones, dark chocolate, fruit cake. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced boost. Not bad but not one I'd revisit.
