(RBESG 2007, Cask at The Abbotsford, Edinburgh) Amber color with a nice offwhite head. Malty toffee aroma with butter notes. Fruity, malty flavor with some toffee and butter. Quite nice hoppy finish.

[Cask from Paisley Beer Festival] Light brown/copper colour with a moderate foamy head. Nose is initially fruity but with notes of caramel and toffee. Body is medium with more fruit and toffee leading to a dry finish.

(Cask at Market Porter, Borough, London 27 Apr 2007) Dark reddish brown, tawny, colour with firm beige head. Fruity nose with dark fruit, raspberries, orange and lovely notes of citrussy hops. Fruity taste with dark fruit, raspberries, dried apricots, hints of chocolate and earthy/citrussy hops in the finish. Solid malt foundation throughout. Very taste, very drinkable. Excellent is the word!

Cask, Loughborough Fest 07. Red and brown with off-white foam. Aromas are sweet light malts with berries and floral spicy notes. Flavours are fruity and malty, quite herbal and flowery. Washes over the palate. Dry and fruity on the finish. Peppery on the aftertaste with some metal. Pretty good.

on cask: nice simple bitter. A little too smooth and not quite bitter as i was expecting. Still would be a great session beer.

Cask at Max’s this beer was not one of my favorites after trying other cask beers at a beer event. I did like the dark rich red color and the slight taste of caramell but overall the beer just came across watery or something, the texture just wasn’t there.
