Bottle from the Sulwath Brewery Tap, Castle Douglas, consumed on site. Light gold, ever so slightly hazy. Light aroma of lemon and orchard fruits, with a slight medicinal note. Taste is sweet, honeyed and floral, leading to a bittersweet and slightly astringent finish.

Cask handpull at the Sulwath Brewery Tap. Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Coffee and liquorice dominate the nose. Sweet taste which turns to a malty Guinness-esque sourness. Solid and very tasty, an enjoyable beer.

Drunk at the Sulwath Brewery tap. Amber/tan, hazy. Crystal malt, forest floor and vinous aroma. Bittersweet taste with a surprising sourness to cap it off. Not my favourite but we canβt like them all!

Keg tap from the Brewery Tap, Castle Douglas. Light brown/amber with a tiny wisplet of white head. Light scent of malt, berries. Taste is standard but enjoyable: a simple bittersweet taste which leads to a surprisingly dry finish. Light body. Not the greatest of beers, but thus would be a welcome alternative to bland Scottish pub bitters.

Bottle from the Sulwath Brewery Tap, Castle Douglas, consumed on site. Tawny brown, with a slight off-white head. Aroma of hazelnut, malt, caramel. Tiniest vegetal note. Sweet malty taste with herbal edges. The naked honesty of this brewery excites me: the beers are so simple, and they either work or donβt. This one does.

Cask handpull at the Sulwath Brewery Tap. Citrus aroma, light and not particularly enticing. However the taste brings forth a nice gentle hoppy bitterness, rounded off with a sweeter, maltier taste near the finish. As simple as it gets.

Keg at the Sulwath Brewery Tap, Castle Douglas. Bright yellow, darker than straw but lighter than gold. Light lemony aroma, pure but hard to detect. Tastes lovely though... citrus bittersweet married with a sweet/savoury malty backbone. Perfect amount of carbonation.

Cask at the standing order. Pours clear dark brown, red chinks, thin beige head. Aromas of treacle scones. Taste is treacle too. Very thin and watery, like diluted treacle I guess. Some coffee notes sneak past the treacle, but itβs pretty poor overall.
