[Cask at the York Club, Windsor Great Park.] Seemingly an opaque brown pour, but actually a bright chestnut when held to the light, and with a thick beige head; aroma of roasted malt with some floral/vegetal notes; rich malt taste with some burnt sugar and a light vegetal bitterness. Very drinkable.
