Mild flavor (go figure!), lightly sweet with subtle, chalky mocha. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild roast finish, some light brown sugar. Some smoke in the aftertaste. Really nice. (3.9)
Cask at the Wallington BF, 2011. Pours dark, ruby-brown with a small, off-white head. Roasty and tangy malt nose. Mild sweet flavor, big tangy malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Bif of roasty malts in the finish, mostly tangy and almost sour, though. Not really my thing, but still interesting. Also, this cask might be off a bit. (3.2)
