Cask at the Grill, Aberdeen. Stonehaven charity beer made with Fettercairn whisky! It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is sweetish, toffee, honey, earth, wood, faint whisky and light medicinal notes. The taste is earth, wood, light iodine, hay, some bitterness, medicinal and faint toffee with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Thankfully the whisky is not over-done. Interesting, but not overly drinkable.

Cask @ Bow [050213]
Very dark brown, ruby edges, thin tan head, some lacing
Aroma - some burnt roast, not a lot on the nose
Taste of soft dark malts, dark fruits, roasted malts, dab of coffee, some dark fruit jam, touch of blackcurrant
Palate Medium body, fairly sticky, quite smooth. Finish as main flavour, dryish bitter roast tail
Overall - This is pretty fruity as a stout but I found it getting a tad dull with the drinking - as stouts go it’s not bad... It’s the best beer I’ve had from this brewery so far
