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.

Cask at the Prince of Wales, Aberdeen. It pours very dark ruby-brown, with a thin tan head. The nose is caramel, toffee, burnt toast, treacle, molasses and liquorice. The taste is caramel, wood, dark fruit, miso, meat, liquorice and roasted malt, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Ok, but nothing special.

50cl bottle. Pours opaque chestnut in colour with a slim brown cream head. The nose has dark chocolate, delicate liquorice with root vegetables and something kind of truffley. The taste has charcoal going liquorice, then some cream. The palate has a medium to large structure with a big but lean middle section texture with a finish that first of all seems slightly clumsy but then leads to a long dry finish. Overall, this is a very good beer and I would say the style is βdry stoutβ.

Mini cask at home (its the way to go) ... Deep black thin tan head ...soft coffee roast nose ...nice smooth coffee malts ... low bitterness decenyt fruity malts ... decent enough but its just missing a little depth for me 3.5... Day 2 ... deep black ... smooth rich milk chocolate ... again milk chocolate ... very rich ... great depth ... quite bitter in linger with more chocolate . 3.8... Day three in the Garvie houshold and the Minicask is now 3/4 done ... while its retained its colour and its nice rich chocolate nose ... the flavour seems have developed a more bitter tone ... nice deep fruit and roast... a tiny amount of burn coffee ... It has definitly gained the depth it was lacking in its first day. 3.7 cask at cloister. .. black ...sweet miltky roast ... loads of chocolate. .. little licorice. .. lovely 4.1cask at bow bar 171111 ... dark black... creamy tan head ... soft dark fruity malt nose ... very mellow toffee chocolate roast ... little blackcurrant ... quite plumy ... nice 4.0 As Chilli Caulde Reekie ... dark black ... thin lacing (trial sample from plastic bottle)... light roast malt nose ... deep roast but huge chilli front ... quite a big capsicum flavour but balanced with the roast malts ... nice soft chocolate roast ... long chilli linger... its big on the chilli.. very nice but prob too much for a pint 3.9 ... but the burn fast dissapears and leave a nice capsicum linger... I really want to try more of this bottle at home ... Vintage 2008 version released by brewery... drunk March 2015 ... deep black ... thin tan lacing (was big head colapsing)... dark dry chocolate cardboard nose ... soft roast ... thin malts.. dry thin roast ... dry chocolate ... thin malts .. long cardboard note... an interesting experiment but its not held up as much as id have hoped 3,4 Keg at cloisters as extra cauld... Dark black.. Thin lacing... Head no where as good as the five cask versions... Dark chocolate roast malts nose... Definitely fizzy.. Rich berries.. Soft chocolate.. Soft roast. Very fruity 3.8...but fizz ruins it
