Keg at BrewDog Castlegate. It pours darkest brown to black with a medium fluffy khaki head. The aroma is medicinal, plenty of ginger, ginger root, nutmeg and beer, some umami, peppery, toasty malts, cacao, liquorice and a twist of lemon. The taste is smooth, woody, earthy, bruised banana, banana cake, touch of tannin, nuttiness, fruit cakes warming ginger (but not as much as on aroma), nutmeg, warming alcohol, charred vibes and some nuttiness with a drying, toasty finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Novel and kinda works. Is dry enough to be drinkable.

5/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 5 Overall 5

Cask at Archibald Simpsons, Aberdeen. It pours clear deep blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and malty - driven, generic fruitiness, toasty grains , cereal, biscuit, earth and fruit cake. The taste is heavy sweet upfront, punchy, some dryness, bitterness, toasty grains, actually feels boozey for only 5.5%, biscuit, ryvita, rawness and old rope with a drying, almost oniony finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy cask carbonation. Rough around the edges and sita quite heavy for the abv. Lovely condition, so that can't be responsible. I reckon a full pint would be a challenge.
