Donker bruin bier zonder schuim. Smaak is zoet en licht zuur, fruitig ananas. Caramel en lichte rook en anijssmaak. Blijft niet erg lang hangen.
Fles heeft ander etiket.

Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 9E). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 3.25 14:39. AROMA: very present and somewhat artificial, sweet malty caramel aroma. alcohols have a slight solventy character. no hop aromas. APPEARANCE: ruby color and clear. good moussy head with low retention. low alcohol derived viscosity. TASTE: sweet caramel like flavours with notes of roasted malt. no hop flavours and low bitterness. finishes sweet. PALATE: medium body with medium-low carbonation. low alcohol warmth. OVERALL: a scotch ale that gives an artifical impression with strong caramel flavours.

Popular Scotch and one of the last still marketed that way, including the stereotypical thistle glass. Dark chestnut colour, stable beige head; sweet malty character, caramel, bit chocolatey, candied fruits, rather thin mouthfeel, somewhat metallic, thin finish with roasted bitterness. A very different beer from their Gordon Finest range but that doesn’t mean it is a good beer.

Bottle @ Schraevenacker, Belgium. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, light chocolate, some dark fruit. Flavor is sweet, malty, caramel, candy sugar, chocolate, dark fruits. Medium to full body, soft carbonation, sweet finish with some warming alcohol. 010814

Bottle from a friend, many thanks Daniel. Cola brown color with small off-white head. Roasted malt, caramel, red fruits in aroma. Sweet dark malty taste with caramel, nuts, honey, licorice, alcohol. Not very impressive.

330ml bottle. Clear, dark ruby red to brown colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Malty aroma combines with fruity notes of red berries, a dry touch of fruit parings, hints of cherry and plum. Taste is moderately sweet malty, a touch of sweet milk chocolate, hints of red fruit, cherry, red berries and the like, a dry touch of fruit parings. As this is one of the first non-German beers I’ve ever had and accordingly several times under various circumstances, it brings back a number of memories (art nouveau Brussels with partially fractured Villeroy & Boch pissoirs and the saddest man I ever saw [at the same restaurant in Brussels], eating up a portion of spaghetti and sporting a sorrowful physiognomy while trying to chill those spaghetti with is exhalations, as if he directly had made his way from burying his only companion in the whole wide world, without any doubt a spoilt, scraggy, whiffy Bichon Frisé; cheese cubes in a glass, a ten bottle-pack selection of international beers shared with Diehli). And yes, I remember less fruit and more chocolate, but "times they are a-changing".

Sokadik sör után tesztelve is kiemelkedik a skót felföld lehellete. Gordon Wallace.

Dla mnie to niezbyt udane piwo. Nawiazujace do szkockich ale produkowane w Belgii a do tego jest mocnym angielskim Ale. Przedziwna kombinacja. Piana ok. Spora i nawet trwala. Barwa ciemno bursztynowa i rubinowa. Spore nagazowanie. W smaku najpierw uderza alkohol przeszkadzajacy mi, wyraznie odczuwalny i zbyt sporo karmelowego slodu.
