On cask at the Real Ale Festival at PP Carlsbad

Appearance is a dark brown hue, nice thick creamy tan head, moderate lacing

Smell is sweet belgian candy, tart fruits, chocolate and bread malts, light booze

Taste is light fruits (pears, apples), and tart sweet candy, transitions to grassy hops and light chocolate malts, finishes sweet and dry, taste is a bit off here

Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, watery texture, mild carbonation

Drinkability is low, the fruits and sugars dominate the chocolate which is strange, this definitely has an experimental feel to it, hopefully they can continue to tweak until they get a better balance here
