Cask handpull at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Gold, lasting white head. Typical Harviestoun beer with good citrus flavours from the addition of (I’m guessing here) Liberty Hops. Good sherberty hoppy beer.

Cask@Holly Bush, Hamptead. Deep amber colour, mediumsized white creamy thick head. Aroma is mildly bitter fruits and some wooden hints. Flavour is quite grassy and flowery hoppy. Aftertaste is mainly dry and bitter. Pleasant thing.

Aroma of dark malts, dark fruit, and mysterious alcohol. It’s opaque black, but halogen brings out ruby hilites. The tan head ringed, but left lace tatters at the edges. Full bodied; mild, creamy, carbonation. It has the dark toasted malt of a stout, the sweetness of something indescribable, some coffee, some puckery smokey notes (from the barrels?), some astringency, and, arguably, some pruney, raisin impact. It is quite the ale. Yummy. A great sipper in the late evening.

[i] Bottle, Many thanks to Craig aka Cgarvieuk for picking this up for me [/i] I’ve had this before but never rated so was quite chuffed that Craig had picked one up for me. Poured as black as it’s name describes with just the tiniest of beige heads to top off. Aroma slightly bitter and sour but also some sweetness as well. First taste was wonderful, really quite indulgent and even though it was 6% it really was an ale that you needed to sip to get maximum enjoyment, molasses, chocolate, dark fruits even some burnt wood, it was all in there in this very lovely beer.

Cask at the Goldhawk, Goldhawk Road, London W6. Golden colour with a thick white head; strong citrus aroma; sharp citrus flavour but supported by a malty sweetness; leaving a clean bitter finish.

Bottle. Very dark brown with a slight, tan head. Aroma was roasty, with prunes and bitter chocolate. Flavour of more chocolate, with coffee and preserved fruits. A warming alcohol finish. Very good.

Nice golden appearance with only a small amount of head. Lager-esque aroma, quite zesty and hoppy. Flavour was somewhere between a continental lager and a British golden ale, hoppy flavours as well as some citric ones. The slightest aftertaste of yeast-extract. Pretty good.

bottle - Pours very dark brown with a two finger tan head that has some legs. The aroma is of roast malt and chocolate, though as it warms it smells more boozy. The flavor is chocolate roast malt and mild but quite noticeable whiskey notes. Full bodied and well balanced, this beer is quite enjoyable.
