COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional.
A deep golden coloured ale, bursting with complex flavours derived from the oak whisky casks used for this beers long maturation. The whisky spirit is evident in the aroma, with underlying promises of further delights. The initial taste of vanilla and fruity malts progresses to a long, dryish finish, with further flavours developing from the wood and the spirit.

4th August 2010. GBBF.
Slightly hazy amber beer with a suddy off white head. Semi dry palate. Rich dark orange hops and a brandyish malt make this beer feel almost like a Christmas Special. It’s a tad too dry but a nice flavour and very drinkable.

Cask handpump at GBBF ’10. Amber. Sharply alcoholic whisky aroma and taste. Sharp bitter finish. To be honest I found this a bit overpowering.
