Apperance: The beer is clear - but with quite a lot of sediments - copper amber toned, a firm off-white head that settles slowly and leaves lots of lacing. Plus for color and head, minus for sediments. (4)
Aroma: The smell is very much wood/oak and sawdust, a bit sour. (2.5)
Taste: Initially very much sweet toffee and caramel, fruit, pears and apples. A very weak, nearly imaginary, whisky or alcohol sense. (3.5)
Palate: Very low carbonation, a somewhat bland feeling. (2.5)
Overall: As most times very mixed feelings for me when it comes to cask aged beer. I would like to like it but often miss hops and freshness. Sometimes it feels like a watered down barley wine. (3)
