On tap at the brewpub. The body was dark copper with a white head. The aroma was malty bread with some caramel and oranges. The taste was burnt almonds with some black tea. A fairly bitter finish.

On cask at the brewpub. No aroma. Hard to drawn anything other than faint brown sugar. Pours a clear brown, with rocky off-white head above. Flavor is a sweet and woody. A light tooth of crispness in sugar and old hop bitterness. Short. A little light on the carbonation, even for a cask beer. Not as soft and supple as I would have expected. Meh.

Pours with a foamy ecru head over clear, deep copper. Light apple cider vinegar notes behind a base of malts in the aroma leaves me a bit disheartened, but the vinegar is only minor in the flavor which otherwise has a full malted grain sweetness followed by an elegant bitterness. Smooth and rather thick on the palate with a dry finish.

Cask sample at the brewpub: Clear ruddy amber color with a negligible off-white head and spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel, bready malt and fruit. Medium-bodied and kind of creamy with toasted malt and subtle peppery hops flavors. The finish is equal parts hops and malt. Decent overall.

Their standard cask. A little head on a dark reddish tinge. A hoppy fruity aroma, perhaps some wheat, and taste, but taste does not deliver on the aroma. Strange carbonation like it was infected, yeast: it was musty, fungy like.
