Cask &#64; the Quaffs stand Covent Garden. Amber with a lasting beige head. Apple, malt and orangey hops with a taste much the same. Slight spice, caramel and an orangey hop finish. I was standing out in the cold so will elaborate on my notes from the mini cask... <br /><b>Re-rate from mini cask</b><br />Vaguely different from the mini cask, slightly hazy in colour with more noticable ginger and coriander. Otherwise much the same.

<i>A Mes rate: 5l mini cask thanks to Reakt.</i><br />Murky and cloudy dark brown with a thin film. Dark dusty malt and bread with lots of yeast and spice. Heavy cinnamon and coriander showing for the finish. A little too herbacious for me but still a very well crafted brew.

Draught &#40;from mini cask&#41;. Fresh aromas of cinnamon are the first thing i noticed, howvere they aren’t too pronounced. Palate is smooth and round, lightly nutty and earthy and then with some subtle hints of coriander and cinnamon. There is some ight citrus in the finish. Very smooth and drinkable.
