From cask at Kenilworth. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a lacing off-white head. Aroma is fruity and holds a solid roasted malty note. Mild spiced and roasted malty flavoured with touch of sourness. Easy and smooth finish. Holds a light bitterness to the roasted malt acidic finish.

<i>Cask Conditioned at The Crown, London &#40;Brewer St.&#41;</i>
Dark amber to brown color. The initial strong caramel aroma fades away. It has a dry caramel flavor, but in the end the ashes and the roasted malt are a bit too evident for me. Ordinary.
