Cask gravity at Catford BF 06. Surprised that I had not rated this before. Was really on its last legs. Copper amber colour with lasting beige head. Astringent hoppy aroma. Good fruit in mouth, some grapefruit, some raspberry. Like many Harviestoun beers has that distinctive hoppiness.

(Bottled) Colour is very dark brown with ruby hints, opaque, with huge (but diminishing), frothy, brown head. Nose is roasted and dominated by chocolate and cocoa. Taste is huge, dominated by roasted malt, dark chocolate and sweet liquorice, some hints of cherries in brandy. Starts sweet, turns drier and more roasted towards the finish. Nice hoppy bitternes in the finish, but the taste is dominated by chocolate and liquorice. Medium to full body, huge taste but smooth and creamy. Brilliant balance! Very nice!

Great roasty, chocolate aromas with some coffee undertones. Body is dark brown with a very minimal head. Flavor is about like the aroma with a bit more fruity tones than expected. It all blends with a nice roasted aftertaste that finishes well.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm 30 Apr) Colour is pale amber, slightly hazy, with foamy white head. Nose is very fruity and hoppy, sweetish with notes of grapefruit, mandarin and mango. Taste is fruity with grapefruit and blood oranges and a long, very hoppy, finish. A bit on the sweet side but with a lovely fruity, hoppy character. The alcohol is well hidden behind the full taste, which makes it deceptively drinkable, Nice!

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear amber. Concentrated citric hop aroma. Sweet and full bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Potent and fruity. More bold, but perhaps less refined than I’m used to from this awesome brewer. Very bitter finish with plenty of salt and tar.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown (almost black) beer with no head. Chocolate/soy aroma. Toffee malt flavor with a bit of a light bretty tartness and some fruitiness. Easy drinking, but lacks a lot: low carbonation, lower body than expected, no lasting finish. Just a bit of oakiness and whiskey notes.

Casked. Golden colour, mediumsized head. Aroma of fruits and strong sticky sweetness. Flavour was surprisingly lame compared to aroma, just some sweet fruit along with hayish hoppiness. Felt unbalanced,
