Apr 11, 2007 Cask@Blackfriars, Glasgow. Orangey brown with a small head. Earthy citrus aroma. Likeable earth and chocolate flavours. Lightish body.

Jan 10, 2007 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.

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