Cask. An amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty and fruity, while the flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, leading to a dry and slightly bitter end.

Very similar rating to the draught/bottle version, maybe even less interesting flavor, and better palate (lightly aromatic).
