Keg at Seaforth, Ullapool. Whaele slayin fo sho. It pours clear deep amber with a thick, creamy head. The nose is toasted grain, brown bread, cereal and stewed apple. The taste is bitter-sweet, brown bread, caramel, grainy, cereal, light toasty, nut and mild astringency with a dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and creamy mouth-feel. Good mouth-feel. Not much to say. Nothing wrong with it, just fairly uneventful.

Draught at Melfort. Pours a dark amber with a small head and some bubbles. The nose has toffee and malt. The taste has more malt, more toffee and then an astringent malt note on the end. The palate is light to medium in body and structure and texture but with an astringent malt finish. Overall, I won’t be having another.

draft at the Portcullis in Stirling - Pours amber and smells of caramel and grainy malt. The flavor is mainly sweet with caramel and a touch of hops. It’s medium bodied and the hops are subdued enough that along with the sweetness put me in mind of scottish ales.

Half pint from keg at The Stag Inn, Falkland in Fife. Clear, dark brown body over an one-finger, nitro creamy head. Vague smell of sweet malts. Hints of caramel and nuts in the taste. Flashes of bitterness to the ending. Creamy smooth in the mouth. Alright as a partner to a ham & cheese sandwich [02.11.2008].

From tap at Tennents. Pours clear and golden amber with a creamy off-white and dense head. Light roasted malty aroma. Flavour is vague metallic to a caramel malty back bone. Slight bitter and mild caramel malt roasted. Vague metallic note into the finish. Smooth caramel malty too.
