From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and deep golden brown/amber with a bubbly off-white head. Solid hoppy and roasted malt aroma. Nice mix of roasted malt, liqourice and fruity hops. Has a solid lingering hops and liqourice flavour that keeps on going. Goes into a flavourful hoppy and bitter finish.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A red-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries and raosted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of roasted malt and lighter notes of berries, leading to a dry and very bitter end with notes of wood and roasted malt lingering around.

A Mes rate: cask cellar run at the Rake.
Semi hazy dark gold with a thin but lasting off white head. Very floral on the nose with some light biscuity malt underneath. Similar flavour but with hints of smoky bacon crisps. Far from the best Harviestoun beer.
