Gravity cask at the 2018 Nottingham Beer Festival, Motorpoint Arena. Light reddish brown and very clear. There's a ring of off-white head and a fair bit of natural carbonation. A fair bit of milk chocolate sits alongside the hazelnut flavour. I was afraid it would be too sweet, but there was a woody bitterness mid-sip to the finish that provided a good balance. A bit too much astringency in the finish, leaving a strange nutty medicinal aftertaste. Good all in all.
