Third Sulwath bottle of the evening: 500ml just out of date when opened on 4th Aug 2012. Dark brown with no ruby red hints I could find: on top a full and fairly deep head of tan coloured foam. Burnt malts of course rule the nose and taste: coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice all in the flavours. Not rich or creamy, but far from watery, a medium depth of body I suppose. OK more than great.

Bottle from the Cairn o Mohr shop. It pours lightly hazy golden yellow, with a thick white head. The nose is dough, wheat, hint of spice and sweet fruit. The taste is very fruity (nectarine, apple and banana), dough, spice, warming alcohol and citrus pith with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Unusual, but not bad.

Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour with a mediumsized creamy/fluffy head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is nutty, chocolaty, mild ashy with some liquorice. Flavour is rather similar. Pleasant, and quite bodied for being 4.4 %.

The taste is caramel, treacle, salt, dark fruit, lactose, wood, dark cherry and a touch of smoke, with a bitter-sweet finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Good balance, medium body and soft carbonation. Nice.

Cask at the White Horse, London. Pours brown with a moderate, tan head. Has really sweet, like, cocoa liqueur aroma. Reminds me of Baileys. Medium sweet flavor with, yes, a Baileys-esque creamy coffee character. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, faintly roasty finish, bit of mocha, bit of coffee liqueur. Interesting and alright.
