Cask. Pretty bad. Stale malt notes, kinda raw with not a lot of flavour profile. Surprisingly the alcohol shows even though its only 4.6%. Some peaty malt comes through i suppose. This is dull though.

cask at the railway in blackheath, london. Maltw sweet nose. Pours a clear copper coloured beer. Clean and soft mouth. Woody finish. Whiskey is faint. Ok.

Draft at The Ship in Whitstable High Street. I’m not a great fan of whisky/bourbon flavours in English ales, and this beer didn’t do anything to change my mind. Tasted thin and surprisingly alcoholic for the ABV, as though someone had slipped me something in my pint. Not good.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet fruity combined with light notes of whiskey and smoke. The body is thin.
