Cask at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours unclear gold, no head. Fair bit of vanilla in the snout, some lemon custard, subtle rhubarb, minimal apple. Hugely sweet flavour, somewhat syrupy, certainly toothache-inducing, with more creamy custard, lightly tangy lemon, some dough, a little apple sauce, bourbon, vanilla. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, soft and oily. Sugary and sticky in thw finish, wih more creamy vanilla and American bourbon character, more custard and boiled rhubarb, puréed apples. Wow, intense. As one of the other eaters notes, this is like drinking a dessert. A couple ounces would almost certainly suffice for most of the populace.
