On cask at C'est What?.
Pours a mostly clear light brown, thin off white head forms, and quickly disappears to a thin ring, no real lacing on the glass. Smell is decent, but very light, a bit of caramel, bread, light biscuit and fruit, slightly nutty, not a whole lot going on. Taste is similar, very light, caramel, bread, biscuit, nuts, hint of roasted nuts, decent finish. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with low carbonation. Drinkable but pretty lackluster.

On cask at the C'est What Fall Fest.
Oak brown body with a frothy white head that had good retention and lacing. Brown bread aroma, with nuts and a light chocolate sweetness. Straightforward flavour, but well done - again brown bread, some caramel and ghosts of chocolate, berries and coffee. Not overly complex, but emminently sessionable. Body is as it should be for a cask, and helps punch this beer up a little.
Charles MacLean's beers are under-rated. he does the English style very well, and that's hard for a lot of North Americans to understand.

Cask at C'est What. Cloudy medium brown with a bubbly head. Some lace follows. Decent aroma. Drinkable, average mouthfeel for a cask. A little sweet malt, Nothing special, nothing attempted to be. Would not seek out again, as I am not a big supporter of the style.
