Hand-pulled pint in Kay’s Bar, Edinburgh on 26th Oct 2014. Black body, tanned head. The aroma was caramel and chocolate with dark fruits, the taste was also leaning towards caramel maltiness again with chocolate, coffee and dark fruits, some liquorice and vanilla in there too. Decent.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - pink grapefruit. Not much malt. Taste - pink grapefruit plus lots of pith. Palate - light bodied with a light creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - fairly single dimensional but what a lovely dimension it is.
