Flying Scotsman is a sophisticated full flavoured premium bitter beer combining the best barley from the north and robust southern hops. Profoundly malty in aroma but balanced with hints of raisiny spiciness and toasty dryness. Fresh, slightly citrus tang with a rich rounded finish.

Clear amber beer with a thick frothy head. Aroma is malt and strong caramel. The taste follows suit, though with an odd sour tang on the tongue, too, which slightly spoiled it for me. Pleasant enough but nothing memorable.

500ml bottle from York National Railway Museum Shop. Copper amber colour, bubbly white head leaving lots of lacing and malty toffee aroma. Fizzy spicy bitter malt taste with lingering dry bitterness and a slight earthy toasted malt undertaste. OK.

500ml Bottle BBD 30 Apr 2013: poured into an Abbot Ale tankard @ home on 30 Dec 2012. Good amber looking beer: full head of off-white foam tops it of nicely. Malts lead the way in the aroma and taste: caramel semi-sweetness with a roasted/toasted unsweetened buicuity feel to the whole thing. Fairly crisp and almost sharp in the mouth: the malts however ensure this is a mostly calm malty brew and Iiked it. Iβd have prefered more body depth and alcohol, but as a 4% ABV Bitter I suppose you canβt expect a rich, thick beer.
