Pours hazy yellow into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving soapy sheets. Citrus and melon aromas. Soft with lemon joy, peel and pith upfront turning to dry sweet melon and passion fruit in the medium length finish.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, very good chocolate malts. Dunno about agave but very smooth mint. Ends up massively After Eight pseudo minty. Very pleasing and easy drinking.

Cask@The Great British Beer Festival 2022 - Dark sweet malty, notes of chocolate and caramel, liquorice, peppermint is far to OTT, big minty waves overbearing here, dark malty miry close. Not for me.

Cask at GBBF '22 day 1, 02/08/22. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a beige head that escapes to a swirl. Nose is dark malts, spice, menthol tones, coffee bean, dried fruits, alcohol. Taste comprises chocolate mint, herb, spice, oak, light roast, charr, murray mints, wooded tones. Medium plus bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a rising kiss of alcohol. Fun high boost cask stout ... came over a little OTT on the menthol front for me though.

Undated can, from Boston Public Market, drunk same day of purchase, 10/4/21. Very carbonated can almost gushes, producing a massively foamy, white head atop a thickly, concrete-like OJ glass. Huge fruitiness in the nose, seems mostly yeast-driven. I mean, it's not bubble gum heavy, but oh my is this a lot of apple, peach, pear, etc...Good mix of pine and light citrus from the hops but there's still a bit of that massively droopy yeast with too much canned pineapple and canned peach. Which is a shame because the cashmere seems to add that telltale pepper/dank/pine which helps offset. In the mouth it's super juicy, super fruity. Like actually tastes like drinking peach juice at points....This really seems like quality brewing and, perhaps, baby steps with canning. So keeping that in mind. Because this is juicy, dry and flavorful, without too much hop acidity or resin. Nor alcohol.
