Cask via the Fisherman’s Cottage during the IoW Jolly. It pours clear deep amber with a decent off-white head. The nose is brown bread, brown sugar, caramel, fruit cake and toasty grain. The taste is bitter-sweet, woody, leather, varnish, earth, dried fruits, biscuit and some toffee. Solid ESB action.
