COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Seasonal - Jan - Feb.
It’s Homecoming Year and there’s a decidedly Scots edge to some of my brewing in January-February. I kicked it all off a couple of weeks ago by brewing an ’export’ style ale, full of malty sweetness with a smidge of underlying hoppy goodness. Wanting all those wonderful flavours that my maltster creates, without overdoing some of the more the demanding ones, and, of course, keeping the ’traditional’ butterscotch notes to an acceptable minimum (not my favourite beer atribute) kept me focused in the design and delivery of the beer.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours dark, clear red-brown with a light, off-white foam head. Light nose, some faint toasted malts. Light sweet flavor, all minerals and mild smoke. Lightly sweet. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Some lightly smokey malts to finish with more minerals and faintly fruity sugars. Odd, and not particularly impressive.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours a dark ruby red with a light, creamy off-white head. Quite a malty aroma with hazelnut. Creamy and smooth over the tongue. The taste has malty biscuit, with plum and prune and a hint of caramel. This leaves a sweet prune-like aftertaste and a lip-smacking creaminess. Delicious.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - FEB 25, 2010
Cask handpull at Man of Kent, Rochester. Beautiful very very dark brown colouur, lasting beige head. Decent malts, tastes a bit like a Caledonian beer. Soft in mouth, slightly sweet on the end. Good interpretation of the style. Little bit watery on finish. Some dry malt, like a malty cake on finish. Not much hop. OK.

Dark ruby, brown in colour with little to no head. Extremely malty with a little bit of underlying butterscotch. Very nice for it’s style, unfortunately just not my favourite kind of ale.
