Cask @ The Guildford Arms, Edinburgh [031113]
Caramel brown with a thin beige head. Nose of light bitter roast, some English twiggy hop, bit mineraly and slight hedgerow fruits. Taste of soft dark fruits, soft roasted malts, dark caramel, hedgerow fruits, that slight mineraly edge, soft bitter. Palate is fairly thin with a dark fruit soft roast finish. Didn’t get any vanilla in this at all. Average as a porter.

Cask at Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours clear yellow with a fine, white foam head. Classic golden ale nose: all grainy hay, straw and sweet, pale malts. Very good flavor with excellent balance, bright straw, lightly tangy lemon. Light in body with fine carbonation. Mild sweetness to finish, some sticky sugars, more straw and light, juicy lemon citrus. Very good, super drinkable.

Gravity dispense at the twelfth Twickenham Beer Festival - 18/10/12. Extremely dark mahogony brown approaching black, with a good creamy head. The nose really let this beer down, sulphuric and eggy, a little smoke. Tasted OK to be fair, but always dominated by the sulphuric waft! Roasted malt and light chocolate tones. Good mouthfeel to this mild, medium bodied, moderate carbonation with a very dry and smokey finish. Let down by the aroma!
