Cask. Almost black colour, brown hue. Very creamy light brown head. Hoppy aroma. Flavour is also hoppy, sweet, fruity and salty. Soft creamy mouthfeel. Quite easy to drink and is gone far too quickly.

Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Black, small white head. Aroma of coffee and tar. Sweet and very malty, reeks of freshly ground coffee. Full bodied with notes of plums. Softly poerful and really good.

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.

Very dark pour with a soft, light tan head. Earthy, dry aromas with baked chocolate, dark caramel and coffee. Lots of length on the palate with a hot, dry finish. Plenty of plummy fruit is soon overwhelmed by the other malty components. Surprisingly light and creamy mouthfeel.

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

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.

(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.
