Best of the cask aged beers. Still bubbly & slightly heady, with a hint of sarsaparilla and vanilla. Thick as well.

Great nose. Definitely smells like root beer. Adjuncts are subtle and don’t overwhelm the base beer. Solid offering.

Not as distinctive as expected. The touted flavors just aren't coming through.
