Cask at GBBF. It pours lightly hazy gold no head. The aroma is musty, dirty, musty, barnyard, vanilla, oak, barnyard, manure and filth. The taste is dry, tart, tannin, apple skin, earthy, barnyard, manure, white grape, sherbet, tannin and vinous aspects with a drying finish. Too much manure and tannin for my liking.
