Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The aroma is toasted, roasted malt, umami, light ash and some wood. The taste is toasted malt, wood, treacle, umami, earth, peppery spice, leather and a touch of acidity. The finish is pretty dry and roasty. Medium body and sot carbonation. It doesn’t really stand out from the crowd, but its drinkable enough.
