[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet and hoppy - and so is the flavor, while the mouthfeel is somewhat sticky. Hmm - I wonder if the carbonation in the bottled version would make this better than casked?

12 fl oz bottle. Pours golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is caramel malty and light fruity hoppy. Sweet caramel and mild hoppy flavoured. Biscuit malty base flavour. Subdued bitterness and light breadish note. Medium sweet finish.

Bottled. Brown coloured with a small off white head. Sweet malty aroma with spicy notes. Sweet perfumed flavour dominated by malts with notes of anise. Dry hoppy finish. Thanks Jacob for sharing.

Cask at GBBF Mid brown colour, some caramel malt and some good hop. This is a pretty good example of this style of beer.
