Impressive nitro, twice-poured dense head. Foamy. Lighter brown color. Clear. Thicker ring and streaky lace throughout the tasting.

Semi-dry caramel smell.

Smooth but not too rich. Fine “carbonation” from the nitro pour. Graham cracker malt start with a caramel swallow. The hop is light and true to the English style; it’s used as a spice here. The aftertaste brings forward a good bitter-dry presence resulting in a longer than expected aftertaste.
