Aug 30, 2007 Cask at Tennent’s Bar, Glasgow. Amber colour. Aroma of fusels and raspberry esters. Medium sweet with syrupy, mushy mouthfeel,. No bitterness. Dominated by aceton and higher alcohols, which isn’t a good thing...

Aug 26, 2007 Cask, Tennents Bar, Glasgow, RBESG 07. Dark copper mahogany, thin white head. Nose is dark and fruity malt, some alcoholic and sick nose. Mouth is very warm maltiness, alcohol. Rubbery and oversweet. Not great.

Jul 15, 2007 Somebody dropped a cherry liquor in this or something, no? Bright fruitiness from a dark amber beer, with s sickly sweet finish and a sharp alcoholic note in the mid-palate that makes me and my friend think that this isn’t better for being 6.2% abv.

Feb 1, 2007 Cask handpull at White Horse, Parson’s Green. Very deep red with thin beige head. Lovely malt fruit flavour. Bit of harsh nettle. Nice, but could be better, lacks intensity and a bit too nettley for me.

Jan 30, 2007 Cask Deep amber-red; B.C."H.". Pencil or watercolourpaint aroma, some children’s sweet and state-of-the-art new materials for basketshoe soles... anything but natural. Again a horrible unnatural flavour - this is not normal. Again, the aroma fo modern chemical rubbers for sports shoes returns in the flavour, mixed with a bit of molasses. Ouch - there’s body, but I’m not sure I do want to know by WHAT. Ugh. I’ve had this beer WAY better before - what are they doing in Scotland. Or is it just this cask... in the White Horse of all places?

Jan 10, 2007 Any first impressions?
-A sturdy sheet of foam lazes atop the tawny-brown.
-Caramel, raisins, and berries rise to the occasion, and entice an excited first sip.
-Black grapes and caramel maltiness coalesce in the elegant flavor profile.
-A round, creamy mouthfeel knows how to please.
What if you dig deeper?
-Light vinosity garnishes the finish, playing off the malty sweetness very well.
-The fruity sweetness is complex, and deserves study.
-A seamless, smooth interplay of rich flavors is what I got in this cask of Old Jock; a very classy pint of old ale.
On cask at Tennent’s Bar, Glasgow.
