[cask at Paisley Beer Festival?] Deep brown with a pale tan head. Notes of toffee with some roasty notes and background fruit and a vaguely floral quality. Malty with a medium body, more roast and toffee, some fruit, dry, hoppy finish. Very nice.

Draught at Cockney Pub. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Unclear brown muddy colour. Powerfull hoppy aroma. Really bitter flavor, very very hoppy. Long finish. Estremely oily palate regarding ABV. I think this is a great beer.

Cask Stillage at the Metropolitan Cathedral Crypt, Liverpool 17/02/2007 Some roast aroma. Dark bronze coloured and fruity with some dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A deep red beer with a thin light orange head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by berries, while the flavor is lovely sweet with notes of straw and berries as well as light notes of metal on a malty back ground, leading to a dry bitter end. The body is a bit thin, no wonder though at 3.8% ABV.

Cask at Charlies. Clear amber coloured with a white head. Aroma of fruits, caramel, hops, grass adn pine needles. Flavour of fruits, hops, grass and pine needles.

Both taste and aroma give roasted malts, the usual harviestoun hops, dry bitter, grassy touch of soup and floural, some blackcurrent comes in as it warms.
