This is an incident where atmosphere dictates impression. I drank this fine brew in Dunbar, Scotland (Home of Belhaven) a few years ago. We were in a mansion mounted on a cliff overlooking the North Sea... absolutely magical. Fine nutty and roasted malt balance with a fantastic smooth hop finish. Lovely!

Had this at the three sisters in Edinburgh, off the handpump tap. Very smooth and malty. I really liked it, but I wonder what it would be like from a bottle.

Cask in Sterling. I admit this beer is rather bland and has no strong flavors, but for some reason I like it. I love the smooth, creamy texture it has. Slightly sweet malty flavors present.

Cask. Brown with white head. This is a lot darker than it used to be. Sweet with some hops. I would like to try this again as not sure this was really right, as not in the cellar long enough.

cask, Amber with a perfectly dense white head. Very faint nose of yeast - slightly sweet. Subdued taste of citrus and treacle. Finish of raisins and orange. Smooth and creamy. Not bad.

Cask at The Cask & Barrel, Edinburgh. Copper colour. Toffee profile in aroma. Light caramelly flavour with hints of toffee. Diacetyl bomb. More edgy than regular cask ales, and the ones with so much butterscotch.
