Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Dark amber to red brown color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, a bit medicinal (only in the aroma) slightly leaves, slightly metallic, lightly bitter. Interesting, things I like about it and thing I don’t like about it.

Cask at a food festival at the brewery. Deep brown with a thick beige head. Roasty notes up front then some sourness and smoke. And, don’t know if it was auto-suggestion or what, but definitely some mud. Very thin, watery mud though. Grew on me as the smoke came through more, but definitely not my favourite mild.
