Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Smooth, dark & dangerous, this ale is designed to warm the cockles of your heart whilst sitting round the ingle after a long, cold winters day outdoors. Although dark and robust, the aftertones of liquorice & blackcurrent make this an ale of complex character, not to be missed.

Cask@Blackfriars, Glasgow. Orangey brown with a small head. Earthy citrus aroma. Likeable earth and chocolate flavours. Lightish body.

Any first impressions?
-Creamy foam sits atop darkened copper.
-Expressive black grape fruitiness joins fascinating roastiness, and citrusy hoppiness for a enticing aroma.
-Caramel and toasty maltiness lack the fruitiness that made the aroma so wide.
-The round mouthfeel and low carbonation was expected, and delivered.

What if you dig deeper?
-Plums show up in the nose.
-Some tartness exists amongst the subtle grassy, leafy hop finish.
-A very decent old ale, but I’d had better a few days before, so it laid in the shadow somewhat.

On cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh.

Handpump, Market Porter. Smoky aroma, tones of wood and a full malt flavour. Ashes in the aftertaste, the malt a bit too roasted, maybe? Quite OK.
