Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes in Wetherspoons BF ’08. Amber with a small white head. Pleasant sweet malty aroma and taste. Also some grainy biscuit and a mid bitter finish. I thought this was pretty good.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A fairly spicey number. Frigid nutmeg nose, ambling white head and consistent brown body. Intriguing sweetness like accidentally tasting the inside of the banana skin, quickly melting into a medium dry finish. Probably their most moreish ale. (Cask, ATP curated by Jeff Mangum, during Joanna Newsom)
