Preservation

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber hue with excellent clarity and a firm, cream-colored head that clings to the glass with good persistence. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a composed and inviting visual presence typical of a cask-conditioned ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted caramel notes, backed by warm toasty undertones from the black and crystal malts. English hop character emerges subtly—earthy and resinous—without overwhelming the rich malt foundation, creating a balanced and traditional East Midlands profile.

◐ Geschmack

Sweet and malty on entry, with pronounced caramel and biscuit notes from the Maris Otter and crystal malts. Residual sweetness persists into the mid-palate before a satisfying bitterness and resinous hop character assert themselves, creating a well-resolved interplay between malt sweetness and hop definition.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with resinous hop notes and a gentle astringency that frames the underlying malt character. Aftertaste remains clean and composed without harshness.
