20180407:
The cask-conditioned version* had a strong smell, had a creamy mouthfeel, and was moderately carbonated.
For comparison, we immediately tried the regular version. There was less of a smell, it was less creamy, more carbonated, and had a more watery mouthfeel. 4:43 PM PT
*Thirsty Bear describes their cask-conditioned beers (there were two to choose from) as follows: "Cask-conditioned, traditional British method, dry-hopped, hand-drawn, cellar temperature"
