Cask at the brewpub. Pours clear, deep amber with a frothy, tan head. Lovely aroma with ageing, lightly tangy berries, rich bread, supple toffee. Medium sweet flavor with rich, lightly toasted bready malts, mild cocoa, toffee, chocolate-covered cherries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Finishes sweet and lightly sticky with further ripening fruits, berries, some toffee, bread, minimal bitterness. Very tasty stuff, well balanced and nuanced.

Cask at the brewpub. I suddenly have the urgency for eating three different types of potato at the same time. Dark reddy caramel coloured pout with a stodgy mid tan head. Aroma is harsh nutty , woody grainy with a harsh tart Apple. Flavour is composed of milky caramel, choc and dark dried fruits. Palate is medium bodied with slightly milkjy on the tongue, light yart apple. Palate is semi sweet with semi sweet, moderate to low carbonation. Ok. Lingering sweet fruit.
