Clear brown colour. Not much of an aroma. Mild malty flavour. Seems to lack some depth.

Cask. Pale copper colour with a small off-white fluffy head. Aroma is nutty, some bready malts, a bit grains as well as some floral and grassy notes. Flavour is pretty similar, but stronger on the malty side. A quite malty bitter, but otherwise quite much a bitter by the book.

Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 3 - London. Pours clear, light brown with a frothy tan head. Well toasted biscuit flavor, light cocoa, some tangy and leathery fruits, a bit of earthy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; OK carbonation. Some light roasted malts in the finish, forest fruits, toasted brown bread. OK.

Cask at a friends wedding. It pours clear deep amber with a thick beige head. The nose is earthy, wood, toast, dark fruit and caramel. The taste is bitter-sweet, caramel, brown bread, toast, leather and some dark fruit with a rather dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Both quite sweet and dry at the same time. An OK bitter, but I just didn’t find it that drinkable.
