Keg at The White Cockade, Torry. It pours clear deepish brown with a. Medium fluffy white head. The aroma is toasty, grainy, brown bread, earthy, woody and nuttiness. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, earthy, grain, cardboard, brown water, rivita, brown bread, brown sugar, caramel, twiggy and wateryness with a dry, grainy cardboard finish. Light -medium body and moderate, velvety carbonation. Nice mouth feel, but no real taste. Nothing good anyhow. Basic.

Dark orange amber. Artificial looking dense and persistent head and lacing. Taste of pale malt, crystal malt and a hint of succade and hops. Waterish and slightly metallic mouthfeel. From keg at Moloney’s London in Willesden London NW10 after travelling to a nearby shop to buy a price-reduced hairdrier and having to stop at the bar on the way back to the metro station because I desperately needed a pee. A proper working man’s pub. I guess I only could understand about one third of the sosiolect of the other punters. There was only keg beer in the bar. Unfortunately they were out of the Moloney’s Bitter.

Half pint. Dark amber with lasting creamy head. Aroma of roasted malts. Very smooth texture which is the best part. Almost no carbonation. Taste is very weak of toasted malts. Deliberately flavourless but perfectly drinkable beer.

Mmm, god men kanskje litt ubalansert enn jeg forventet. Det var femtevalget etter at alle håndpumpe er viste seg å være tomme. Men god og autentisk øl, selv om det var litt mye humle NB som skar igjennom.
