UPDATED: OCT 24, 2011 Location: Cask at the Brewery, 10/22/11
Aroma: It has a faint nose of caramel sweetness and some light pine
Appearance: It pours a clear caramel color, small ring of cask style head
Flavor: Taste is balanced, lots of caramel sweetness, some earth/pine, light bitter
Palate: This one has a fairly smooth cask feel, a touch watery and light of body
Overall Impression:
Decent bitter, solid on cask, but nothing super special. I wanted it to be a little bit better then it actually was.
