Cask Stillage at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 03/08/2010 Fruity aroma. Amber coloured hazy in appearance and strong in alcohol with a hint of dryness in a sweet finish.

A reddish amber ale with a thin big bubbled off white head. A pleasant apple and maple aroma, with notes of vanilla and cinnamon. In mouth, a sweet light malty drink, which still need to ferment for a bit. On tap at brewpub, Nov. 30 2008, with Sponge and Goldorak.
