UPDATED: MAR 31, 2011 a bit hazy very dark mahogany or copper clear colour with almost no head. Delicious hops. a bit flat mouthfeel. I feel so lucky to be drinking islay beer. It is like a sherry cask matured whisky with a lot of water. a bit metallic and lots of nice hops, but after taste is surprisingly bad

Cask @ The White Hart, Port Ellen. Nice amber hue with a tight head. The aroma is nicely balanced with earthy, spicy hops. Juicy body. The malt flavors are lovely and they shine from a fresh cask. The flavors are balanced and nicely bready. Slight toastiness throughout and a lingering toasty finish. Very nice bitter.
