Cask (Gallows Bird, Espoo)
Black, small off-white head. Rich burnt aroma, heading towards coffee. Refreshing palate, carbonation low, but present. Rich roasty taste, pleasantly burnt. Anna thinks it’s a bit ashy, but I wouldn’t call it that. The roast is certainly dry, but the beer’s refreshing enough that the whole feeling isn’t dry, it’s a flavoursome thirst quencher. Simple finish. Very subtle stout, nice one.

500ml bottle, drunk at home, 9th May 2011. Thanks to my friend Mark M for this. Near black with a small white head. Chocolate malt on nose and full roasted malt flavour. Quite thin palate for a stout. Dry finish, very tasty. I could definitely drink several.

Cask @ Salhojankadun Pub, Tampere. Rated on 10.12.2011
Aroma is surprisingly light with roastiness and cocoa. Flavour is rather dry with roasted malt and some peat. Dry and roasted finish. Rather nice real ale with rich flavour palette.

Cask @ Salhojankadun Pub, Tampere.
Pours a dark brown colour without a head. Aroma of roasted malts and nuts, tobacco. Flavour of roasted malts, nuts, bread, licorice, tobacco and bitter hops. Light bodied, slick mouthfeel and a finish of malts, nuts and some bread. Easy-going.

Bottle 50cl. Pours a dark brown colour, now carbonation and a small head. Dark chocolat smell with a good nose of hops there too. Taste is very rich and varied, can distinguish nuts, blueberries and of course hops. Goes down very smooth.

Bottle. Dark brown. The aroma is nutty and with a hint of fudge. Chocolatey, slightly fudgey and toasty. Decent beer - lacks a little life out of the bottle compared with some of the other Glastonburys I’ve had. Will have to track down on cask.

Bottle. Opaque brown--black with a healthy head. Dense carob, chocolate, and coal in the nice aroma. High carbonation. A little prickly but smooth. Bit of chalkiness dries out the finish. Rich with minerals and coffee bean. Excellent toasty finish.

Cask conditioned at Minehead Beer Fest ’10. Black with tan head. A touch on the thinnish side, some liquorice notes, with a dark chocolate back note. finishes quite quickly.

Cask at HBF 2010. Dark brown colour with a small beige head. Roasted malt aroma with hints of coffee. The flavour is roasted malt and coffee. Some coffee in the aftertaste. Quite thin-bodied.

Cask @HBF 2010. Pours dark brown color with a small head. Aroma is roasted malty aroma and coffee. Mostly coffee and roasted malt in flavour. Bit dry finish. Enjoyable.
