Cask @ Bow [050213]
Very dark brown, ruby edges, thin tan head, some lacing
Aroma - some burnt roast, not a lot on the nose
Taste of soft dark malts, dark fruits, roasted malts, dab of coffee, some dark fruit jam, touch of blackcurrant
Palate Medium body, fairly sticky, quite smooth. Finish as main flavour, dryish bitter roast tail
Overall - This is pretty fruity as a stout but I found it getting a tad dull with the drinking - as stouts go it’s not bad... It’s the best beer I’ve had from this brewery so far

Cask @ The Bow Bar. Very dark brown colour, reasonable head. Roasted fruity coffee malt aroma. Dry chocolate malt flavour. Smooth. Reasonable stout.

cask at bow ... copper brown ... thin tan head ... soft dark roast ... sweet roast ... caramalised sugers ... dark roast ... little licorice ... little burnt ... odd dry finish

Bottle from Deeside Drinks Emporium. It pours very dark brown with a small beige head. The nose is rich roasted malt, coffee, liquorice, bitter chocolate and a hint of parmesan cheese in the background. The taste is roasted malt, bitter chocolate, coffee, ash, liquorice, faint acidity and earth with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body, low carbonation and soft mouth-feel. Good flavour and balance. Definitely my favourite Burnside to date. A step in the right direction.
