GBBF Day 3. Cask. Clear amber beer, fair pale tan head. Palate is light and crispy. Smooth dry malts. Mildly tangy dried fruits, turning sweeter. Trace of something barrelly on the finish, but no obvious rum. Mild spicy linger. All right.

Not particularly good by any means. Pours black without much head or lacing. Kind of a sour dishrag finish with some light roast aroma. Bottle.

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Clear a bit rusty orange color, virtually no head. Smell and taste malts, nice wood (mostly in the aroma), a touch of liquor, nicely fruity and nicely bitter. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Nice one!

Cask - Light apple and sweet rum with a hint of caramel.  Clear copper with a thin bubbly head.  Caramel and harsh booze.  This did not work well.

Cask gravity at the 2014 GBBF. Orange light amber coloured pour with no head. Aroma is sweet rum raisin, stale caramel, diacetyl and jot alcohol. Flavour is caramel, rum berry, raisin, sweet caramel, vanilla oak. Reminds me of innis and gun. Sweet sweet caramel and low carbonation.. Poor.

12 oz. bottle, foisted on me by Ian. Pours black, with a medium, bubbly, tan head. The aroma is roasted coffee, peat, oak, and brown sugar. Sweet and malty, with a slightly sour, toasted bitterness. Medium body, acidic, a little chalky, and astringent. This is a overly roasted porter, with an unpleasant flavor and mouthfeel.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a clear copper/gold body with a one finger white foamy head. It left minimal lacing and left no rings. Carbonation slowly rose.
The smell had some light caramel with some malts.
The taste was sweet through the malts and caramel. No hops was tasted even after the beer warmed a bit.
On the palate, it sat about a medium that had a good drinkability to it.
Overall, this was a good beer to me, but with the malts and caramel coming out so strong, I’m just wondering if this beer is more of an English Pale Ale.

12 oz. bottle purchased @ Trader Joe’s. Dark brown color, with a thin layer of white head. Aromas of molasses and toasted grain. Flavor is charred barley with notes of dry roasted malt and grain. Thin in the mouth with a watery texture. Weak sourness in the finish. Drinkable, but below average without question.
