On cask at the Haymarket Bar. Appearance - deep amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - caramel and dry biscuit. Taste - more caramel but quickly taken over by the biscuit which is very dry indeed. Astringent, in fact. Palate - close to medium bodied. Sweet in the middle then an astringent finish. Overall - quite challenging.

Black beer, bubbly white head. Taste is sweet fruit, toasty malt, vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel though not that rich. Nice though, and incredibly drinkable at this ABV.

Cask at Archie's. It pours darkest brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is soft, sweet, umami, chocolate cake, coffee grinds, umami, earth and toasty action. The taste is soft, bitter, toasty, roared malt, cocoa, dark chocolate, umami, smooth and a touch of alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent.

Cloin's 20K @ T42. Thanks to Paul. Hazy gold beer, small pile cream colour. Palate is airy, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, semi sweet, some caramel. Very mild tropical fruits. Chilli kick in the light finish, but thankfully not overdone. A bit thin, otherwise ok.
