Cask. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Cask. Almost clear orangey brown with an off-white head. Lightly tart, woody nose. Light body, completely flat, some burned caramel and notes of raisins. No bitterness. Interesting. 200110
