rbesg07, on cask at the barony, edinburgh. browny red with a nutty aroma, hints of red berries, sultanas, toffee and a good hit of bitterness

Reddish brown color, thin white head. Aroma of pine and nuts. Flavors of malt with some dark fruit in the background. A notch above the bottled version.

Its funny how sometimes you are so busy hunting obscure beers you forget how good the obvious ones are! This is a fantastic looking pint. nose is fruity yet not overpowering. Flavour is xmas pudding without too much sweetness. feel is smooth and creamy. Does much get better than this? AND its a great session beer.

Cask, Royal Oak, Great Ayton, N.Yorks. A great get out of jail card this. Deep dark reddy brown with a smallish, lingering tan head. Fruity, roasted malt aroma. Toasty malts, dark choc, christmas cakey flavour. Quite rich. Had 6 pints of this in a few hours on top of 6 other misc pints + a few dark rums and I think the Old P was a big contributing factor to one of the worst morning afters of 08 !!

<i>A Mes rate: cask at Baker St JDW.</i>A lovely rich mahogany brown colour with a thin beige film on top. Both the aroma and flavour are that of sour off fruit. Clearly on the turn but I would expect nothing more from this disgraceful effort of a JDW pub.
