Cask @ Haymarket, Edinburgh [050213]
Pale golden, clear thin dense white head. Aroma - slighly odd medicinal note, bit of a herbal hop. Taste of pale malts, soft spicy hops, slight herbal note, soft sweet pale fruits, dab of fusty yeast
Palate - thin to medium body, but oily, bitterish bit biscuity finish, bit yeasty, odd scorched note, little dry
Overall - This came across as rather odd - very average - not a fan of this

On cask @ Hawes Inn, South Queensferry. Pours golden with some haze and a decent head. The nose is of honey and cornflakes with a slightly unpleasant, dare I say it, sulphurous note, in there too. The taste is much more of citrus but there’s still a cornflake note and as well, the hint of sulphur is still lurking. The palate is medium bodied with a creamy/tangy texture and a dry, though not very fresh finish - it’s slightly malty astringent rather than fresh and hoppy. Overall, this wasn’t as good as I’d hoped and I’m not sure it was in the condition that best showed it.

On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol 30/06/2012. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of dark chocolate and roasted malts. Flavour had more chocolate, some coffee and liquorice, leading to a dry finish. Enjoyable.
