Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh, Scotland. Deep dark brown to black colour, off white head. Aroma of smoke, hard roasted malts, bit of peat, sweet chocolate. Flavour is roasted, light smokey, bitter and sweet chocolate, roasted finish. Light bodied. Nice stuff.

Cask, handpump at The Guildford, Edinburgh in company of Craig & Loz 29.10.10 The lady behind the bar raved about this beer and she was right it was jolly decent. Strange to come to Edinburgh to find a Bottle Brook beer when its my dad’s local beer and I have it plenty when I’m up to Derbyshire to see him. Pours black with a light beige head, some bitterness, roastiness and hoppiness show straight away. There is coffee and smokiness starting to make an appearance. Great beer. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov17 3.7

Cask @ 3 Judges. Slightly hazy and pale yellow colour, sparkling white head. Aroma is lemon, slightly malty. Flavour is lemon, fairly hoppy, followed by dry biscuit. Medium carbonation. Slightly dry and slightly bitter finish. Refreshing, a bit light.
Rerate: cask @ Bon Accord. Fruity and juicy. Well drinkable. + .3

Cask at Smithfield Hotel, Manchester. A black beer with a red shine under a brown head. The aroma has notes of malt and chocolate as well as lighter notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of milkchocolate, medium notes of malt, as well as lighter notes of cherries, cocoa powder, and roasted malt, leading to a dry and roasted finish where the chocolate note lingers. The body is just a bit light. I don’t fancy the chocolate.
