Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Black colour, with small light-brown head. Tar, glue and licorice aroma. Salty, almost fishy flavour profile, with a fair deal of sweetness. Smokiness is here. Bit of gluey maltiness. Long, salty finish. Wonderful beer in a league of its own.

Cask, Guildford Arms, Edinburgh, RBESG 07. Dark, thin tan head. Rubbery malty, petrol and liquorice nose. Flavour is lots of espresso and chocolate, some winter fruit. Quite a deep and enjoyable palate. Alright actually.

(RBESG 2007, Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh) Black color, brown head. Very nice aroma from chocolate, sweetish licorice and cocoa. Fruity and with some caramel. Nice smooth flavor, ash, tar, cocoa, licorice and some smoky notes. Very good.

The Guildford arms. Alround not my style. Smokey, bloody, meaty, roasted barley, grape style tart fruit, but too roasty.

A Mes rate: Cask handpull at the Guildford Arms. Black and opaque with a reddish hue at the edges and a good tan head. Dark malty aroma with fruit, figs and lots of coffee. Similar flavour, quite meaty with a coffee and dark chocolate finish. Viscous, oily, smotth and drinkable.

Cask handpull at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Softer in cask that in bottle. Tarry, good espresso, great mouthfeel. Really rather good. NIce tarry bitter finish. A lot wider in the mouthfeel than the oilier bottled beer. Great to find this on cask. 3.8/5.0 New ABV Cask handpull at Willow Walk ’Sporks. I had this on cask at the old strength in the Guildford Arma, Edinburgh and it was one of the beers of the RBESG 07 for me, so I was interested in this. Black, ruby hints, thin tan head. This is still a tasty beer with smoky charcoal and tarry malts. Good fullness in mouth. Aroma is excellent. Good fruit in mouth. Decent stinging finish. Rounded juicy charcoal in mouth. Excellent. 3.9/5.0
