Colour: Deep Golden
Aroma: Clean, slightly woody, slight hints of spice.
Flavour: Initial malt sweetness balanced by bitterness, light toffee notes followed by a lingering secondary bitterness hit that is refreshing rather than overwhelming.
Food Pairing: Spicy foods and barbeque...of course!

Lovely fruity raisins in the taste and nose this time. Previous rating 25/03/11. 6/3/7/4/14 = 3.4 Golden amber with a little head. The nose has raisins and caramel-malt. The taste is more caramel and malt. Palate is great, rich texture but refreshing. A delicious, really balanced beer.

330ml bottle bought at Vino Wines Grange Loan in Edinburgh. Amber body with just a few patches on the surface. Smell of dried fruits. Sappy and dried citric fruits in flavour. Bitter dried fruity ending. Drinkable in spite of being rather unvaried (hotel room, 02.12.2010).
