Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear deep red with a dense beige head. The aroma is soft, bitter - sweet, toasty grain, dull red fruits, white bread jam sandwich, jam rolly polly, toasty grain and caramel. The taste is dry upfront, light tannin, bitter - sweet, toasty grain, earthy roast, grassy, metallic twang, touch jammy fruits and caramel with a bitter, drying finish. Average body and moderate, velvety carbonation. Has quite a weird bitter finish, almost acrid. Nitro definitely saves it.

Can, 0.44l. Deep amber pour, one finger creamy off-white head, long lasting. Sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, malty, toasted caramel, fruity notes in the background. Medium to full body, flat carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, thick and chewy, very nice and easily drinkable. Nicely balanced taste, malty sweet with subtle roasty bitterness. Aroma of toasted caramel, dried fruits, rye bread. Subtle coffee notes in the background. Medium lasting finish, slightly dry, subtle lingering bitterness. Enjoyable.
