Cauld Reekie pours opaque black with a brown foam. The nose is full of malt, caramel, chocolate and coffee. The taste is full bodied and velvety smooth with an abundance of roasted malt flavour and a touch of sweetness.

A solid, balanced and smooth drinking stout. The nose has some unusual elements for a stout - rich dark fruit, a gummy sweetness and classic malt. Tastes include roasted malt, caramel, a hint of molasses, faint coffee and chocolate, a metallic cleaness and a smooth creaminess. Well balanced and easy to drink.

Really nice sweet roast, coffee, and some light fruit. Creamy, silky mouth feel, and low carb. Good dark, semi sweet roasty finish. Solid stout.

19 March 2019. At Makars Gourmet Mash Bar, Edinburgh. Shared with the lovely Anke! Pours hazy black with a frothy, slowly thinning, beige head. Aroma of raisin, blackcurrant, molasses, brownie dough, licorice, mocha, candied fig, coffee liqueur. Taste is medium malty sweet, quite fruity (fig, raisin), some sourish blackcurrant, molasses & licorice enrich the maltiness even more; nutty edge initiates a medium roasted bitterness, fondant, toast & coffee roast on top of that, yet not outspoken, vague umami black olive in the back. Dryish, earthy, bit herbal hoppy finish, lingering toast, coffee roast. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Good one but verges on Sweet Stout.
