wyzzywyz22 (327), Wirral, Merseyside, England Jun 3, 2008 Cask, Clachnaharry Inn, Inverness. Black with a thin beige head. Aroma is roasted coffee with some dark brandy sodden fruit and smoky liquorice notes. Flavour is full bodied, rich and malty. Coffee, choclolate and some smoky herbiness evident. Very tasty indeed. chimp_lechamp (348), glasgow, Scotland Apr 14, 2008 cask at the worlds end in edinburgh-
i had my doubts, i only ordered it because of everything else was greene king. but jesus, this beer was on form. ive had it bottled a few times, and maybe even cask once, but it was nothing special.
this time, it poured engine oil nearly opaque, with a guiness look to it. nose was coffee toffee, big toffee, and caramel, some chocolate and oat. it had a grand nose, and a taste to match. what a session ale. and well balanced. i still can’t believe how good it was.
