Spoons Fest! Clear dark brown beer with a tiny tan head. Light dry palate. Darkish malt with a trace of smoke. A fresh bitter finish that goes on well in to the aftertaste. Dry finish. Dry + Smoky is one of my least favourite combinations but this beer bucks the trend. Alright!

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 2/11/10. Dark, ruddy brown with a slight, off-white head. Thin fruity aroma with some caramel sweetness. Flavours of earthy malts, berry fruits and drinking chocolate, with a slightly bitter finish. Forgettable.
