Taking its name from the world famous Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem, which lays claim to being England's oldest inn, this is a rich, toffee-flavoured beer bursting with fruity character that is perfectly balanced with a clean, bitter finish.

Cask at the Corstorphine Inn. Pours clear dark copper with a thin single-cream-like head. Aromas of vanilla and caramel. Taste is sweet toffee up front, faint fruit cake. Sweet finish. Not bitter enough for me.

Pint on tap at The Laughing Fish, Isfield. Deep copper/red beer with thin white head. Zero carbonation. Lightly malty nose. Laces well. Light body, sweet taste at first becoming more bitter and herbal later. Tangy and drying right at the end. Slightly different to your usual bitter but perfectly drinkable.

Clear nutty color with a thick tan head that stays for a long time. Looks good. Decent intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft to flat carbonation level. Thin caramel, some bready notes and mild fruity flavor.
