tombyars (685) - Saltcoats, SCOTLAND - FEB 2, 2012
First tasted this in Chestnuts Hotel, Ayr in January 2004. Cask, handpump dispense. Ruby black in colour with a thick creamy buff head and resembles Orkney Dark Island in looks. Rich roast coffee and caramel notes in the long seductive sweet aroma. Thick creamy mouthfeel in texture (like Dark Island) and superb lacing throughout. Dark malts give a rich moist and heavy fruit loaf base with dates, damsons, sultanas, molasses and caramel. Slight prickle of spicy hops but short lived in the aftertaste. Finish is thick and powerful with the malt as vinous port, treacle toffee and oak cask come through. This is a cracking Scottish Old Ale and highly recommended.

Benjii (1686) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JAN 29, 2012
On cask at The Bow Bar. Pours a dark brown colour with a thick, light tan head. Aroma of roasty malt, coffee and chocolate. Similar roasty flavour with chocolate again and a creamy mouth-feel. Nice.

downender (4186) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - FEB 5, 2011
On gravity at the Tewkesbury Beer festival, 4/02/2011. Jet black with a slight tan head. Sweetish aroma of dark fruits and caramel, with some balancing roasted malts. Flavour had the same sweetness, with some chocolate and milky coffee notes, leading to a dry finish. Very good.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2011 Cask @ The Cafe Royal, Edinburgh. Mild fruity aroma. Dark brown colour with a good head. Mixed fruit & prune flavour. Coffee aftertaste. Not really my thing.
