Sep 18, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008 Cask Small, yellow rim left, deep brown beer. Wood, liquorice, carbon, but little smokiness. Smokiness appears in the flavour, sulphury, as from stricken match, but still very discreet. Wood and carbon, still discreet. At least get the "smokiness" right in order to beef it up.
