Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen on 30th October 2009. Black-red with off-white head. Thick, slightly smoky and sour. Burnt malts, some citrus fruitiness and just a hint of salt and smoked sausage before a strong burnt dry finish on a thick, filling and satisfying mouthfeel.

Oct 28, 2009 After hours sneaky at The Sad Hog Tavern. Mahogany with ruby tints and a slim beige lid. Faint soot and leaves, cocoa and toast aroma. Chocolate, cherry, charcoal hints. A dab vinous and buttery. Doesn’t satisfy.

Dec 15, 2008 Cask - - Gallows Bird, Helsinki
Jet black, persistent cappuccino head. Sweet rich roasty aroma, some baked beans in tomato sauce too. Tangy roasty taste. Full smooth palate, minimal carbonation, but this was a few days old. Dry ashy taste, some ashtray finish. Excellent for 4.3%, spoilt only by a touch of astringency in the burntness.

Dec 13, 2008 I went to Aikmans Cellar bar in St Andrews to see if they had got some good cask ales for the up-coming Halloween fest and Bonfire Night. I was not disappointed. After a half of this one, I continued with witch’s cauldron. Witchfinder Porter poured a rather thin brownish, lacing head over a shining mahogany body. Smell of roasted dark malts with fruity hints. Taste of chocolate malts and roasted grain countered by a brief peppery, bitter finish. Smooth in the mouth. [30.10.2008].
