Cask. A hazy yellow beer with a dense orangey head. The aroma has notes of flowery hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, flowers, and hops as well as a lighter note of butter, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2011. Black as hell. Thick beige head. Liquorice burnt engine oil on aroma. Great condition in the mouth. Some fish oil. Dry on end. Everything about this beer should make me not like it. But I do. I love the dry roast finish. Rather distinctive. The dark roast dark choc comes thru. Odd individual but likeable.
