Bottle from the LCBO. Black pour, with a large, creamy looking dark brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasty malts. Coffee cake, and cocoa nibs. mouth feel is creamy, and the carb is soft and satisfying. The finish is lightly bitter, loads of cocoa flavours, and a coffee, roasty finish.

Half-pint. Covering off-white head, upper part lacing on the glass, next-to-clear late straw coloured body. Quite promising aromas with traces of mid-sweet malts and citrus. Balanced malt-fruity flavours, hints of pineapple, orange, and semi sweet malts. Bittersweet finish. Soft on the swallow. Pleasing. (Liverpool, 14.02.2025)

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. Only a vague aroma â of generic citrus, pineapple and ash. In the mouth it is slightly bitter and quite juicy with floral hops, citrus and melon all featuring prominently. Hints of tangerine and biscuits come later. Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is reasonable though not wildly exciting.

After a short break at the hotel, this strong one starts off the evening session for Day 3 in Edinburgh. Traditional Scottish style, quite soft texture for its strength. Sat at the bar at the Black Cat.

My penultimate beer of my first day of a few in Edinburgh. That's beers and days! I've had a number of sessions hoppy brews today and this one was the best - very easy and pleasant textured.

I did pay cash but didn't say for the barman to keep the change. Actually the clip could be a recipe for disaster if a joke comment like this is misconstrued. The clear deeper golden hopped beer is pretty good, pretty easy in texture. Maybe somebody should get a tip.
