Scopey	3.2 Kelburn Red Smiddy Cask (pint) Adibeer style at The Grill. Always a suprise finding something like this that has passed me by. It pours deep red - amber with a thick, well appointed beige head. The aroma is sweet, caramel, toffee, dried fruits, raisin, brown bread, pie crust, wood and leather. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, bitter snap lingers throughout, has a nice warming spice about it, toasted nut, wood, touch of dried fruits in there and light tannin with a drying finish. Moderate body and carbonation (for cask). Condition helps this one out. Nothing to write home about, but drinks fine. Thursday, January 19, 2023

Scopey	2.6 Kelburn Goldihops Can from Devenick. It pours clear copper with a decent white head. The aroma doesn't really warrant the use of "hops" in the aroma.. subdued biscuit, grain, touch of damp grass, earth and a touch of cereal. The taste is firmly dry, snap of bitterness, grass, herbal accents, grain, earthiness, biscuit malt, vague hint of pithy citrus and cereal, damp wood with an earthy finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Such and old skool beer. Drinks fine enough, but pretty earthy and boring. Monday, January 24, 2022

corkyrory66	2.5 Kelburn Cart Noir Porter de 4,8 % abv .. (aïe ..) qui ne s'appelle pourtant pas Shorty .. Non il s'appelle Carte Noire en français, à cause de 5 malts et 3 houblons .. Petite remarque au brasseur, quand on met autant d'ingrédients supposés nobles, on a tout intérêt à pousser un peu le niveau abv pour apporter ainsi à la bière un supplément d'âme .. Mais voyons tout cela !! Porter dans la tradition honnête des travailleurs des ports (dockers etc.), aussi bien écossais qu'anglais (aïe ..) Les nuances de baies noires ne sont pas déplaisantes, mais le rende un peu trop " bitter " pour les travailleurs en question qui avaient davantage besoin de sucres .. CONCLUSION : on ne s'ennuie pas à Glasgow avec le café Carte Noire .. Pour ce qui est du porter, on va interroger la Clyde .. (aïe ..) (music pairing : Black stone sherry, album Folklore and superstition .. pas vraiment carte noire mais magie noire .. ) Thursday, August 19, 2021
