UPDATED: MAY 29, 2008 cask at troon beerfest- smells rich dark fruit roast malt, sweet sugar. chocolate. tastes bitter chocolate. malt -----my notepad got splashed with beer. ---- some notes of coffee--- to--- and watery--- smokey---- 3.2? rerate- bon accord. cask condition, pours black near opaque with a foamy head that has disspated, nose is rich chocolate and burnt toast, taste is creamy well balanced sweetness dances on tongue with chocolate and a long lasting bitter chocolate finish. much better than remembered.

Cask, gravity, at Cambridge Beer Festival ’08. Very dark reddish brown with a small off white head. Glorious old fashioned roast malt aroma with some yeast as well. The taste is nearly as good; sweet with some sour fruit and a mid bitter finish. A gentle and approachable stout, unlike the extremely disturbing Lake District legend of the Claife Crier, after which the beer is named.

Cask, Alloa Beer Festival. Dark porter brown with a thin light beige head. Nose is sherberty funky malt, heavy on acetone. Mouth is malty plum, dark fruit, strong burnt taste. Warming, alright.

Cask at Troon Beer festival ... Deep black ... sweet fruit cherry malt ... mellow thin but good sweet roast.

Cask at troon beer fest 07. Aroma is roasty with a decent amoutn of chocolate malts. Taste is thin watery one dimentional boring roasty ballocks.

[Cask at The Three Judges] Almost black with a tight tan head. roasty, tarry with some phenolic notes and a little fruit. Full bodied, a little fruit, dry and roasty with a slightly vinous note. Bordering on an old ale.

Cask Handpump at the Newfield Inn, Seathwaite 28/10/2006 Slightly rich aroma. White head. Black and smooth on the palate with some alcohol present. Creamy dry roast finish.
