Cask at Westow House. It pours amber with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is toasty grain, bready, floral, stewed orange and nectarine. The taste is dry, bitter, toasted grain, spice, floral, light soap, straw and bit of orange peel with a very dry finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Pretty punchy for the abv. A bit soapy for me.
