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.

Dark copper color. Light toffee and milk chocolate malty nose. Soft mouth, slightly sour. Caramel, toffee sourness is a bit off putting. Lingering malty finish

Cask in Ramsey, Isle of Man. Good cream on top and dark brown body. Soft aroma of caramel and biscuit. Flavour is soft molasses, toffee and bread. Medium sweet finish. Adequate but not interesting.

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.
