Small creamy pale beige head. Coppery body. Floral roasty straw aroma, kind of faint, but harmonic, with fruity notes. Dry-sweet floral resiny wooden taste with fruity caramel notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Dry resiny chalky metallic aftertaste with floral notes. Clean, fresh palate. Very nice, and highly drinkable. (0.5l cask, The Sheep Heid Inn, Duddingston.)

Scents of nuts, hops, some malts, a little bit of alcohol. Looks great with a big solid foam, and dark golden colour. Nice smooth taste with a slight bitterness, some hops and sour notes to make a dry finish. Overall a good English bitter. Best served a little warm.

Bottled. An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, and butterscotch. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and elderflowers, leading to a lightly bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Cask at Market Porter, London. Copper coloured ale with a smallish head. Fruity aroma. Light hop taste and hint of grapefruit. This beer is fine but I was expecting much more for some reason.
