[i] [b] Cask at the Royal Oak Beer Festival, Oakley, Bucks/Oxon border 03-05-08 [/i] [/b] Hazy warm golden in colour with a white bubbly head. The burnt orange peel in the description is the first thing that I picked up, Loz on the other hand got the cloves immediately. I really liked this though I felt that the spices and particularly the cloves contrived to make this feel quite medicinal. This is really quite interesting, as wheat beers go its not very subtle the citrus is a bit full on at times but I found it very moreish and most enjoyable.

Bottle conditioned at a new ABV of 4.1%. Very dark brown with no head; completely opaque. Aroma of coffee and bitter chocolate. Initially a light mouth feel before roasted malt kicked in, finishing in a long bitter finish. Enjoyable.

[i] Cask at National Winter Ales Festival, Manchester 2008 [/i] Dark brown in colour, plenty of burnt wood, some nice roasty flavours but reminded more of a pumped up mild than a porter.
