COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Lytton Cask is difficult to define. This Cask found its origins in one of our winter seasonal ales and was so well received we moved it into regular production. Roughly describable as the black-sheep child of a robust porter and a foreign extra stout, The Lytton Cask is a complex ale with an intriguing depth of flavor, but remains an easy drinking pint. The Lytton Cask won a Bronze medal at the 2010 U.S. Open Beer Championship in the Porter category.

Draft at Beer Revolution in Oakland. Pours dark brown in color with a small but lasting whitish head. The aroma has coffee, roast, and earth. Not particularly potent. The flavor has coffee, roast, and a dirty aspect. On the dry side. Very dry mouthfeel, a bit chalky and homebrew-like/unrefined, with medium body. Overall pretty average. Has good points and flaws.
