Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A slightly hazy dark golden beer with a medium sized light tan head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - of which oranges is strongest. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruit and caramel, again oranges is the strongest fruit note, but also light notes of peaches can be found.

Pours dark amber with a proportionate head. The nose has toffee and malt. The taste is very much sweet toffee with some malt astringency. The palate is medium bodied and textured with a slightly cloying finish. Overall, nothing special.

Had out of a cask at World’s End in Edinburgh. Really disappointing considering how much I enjoy most of Belhaven’s other beers.
