Bottle:Copper coloured, mid-sized stable off-white creamy head, mainly fruity nose, dark malt with a tinge of metal detectable; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied, but fortunately really soft; sweetish fruity-malty finish with a slightly lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice enough…

(bottle) Clear, chestnut-brown colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Mildly toasty malty aroma with caramel, nutty notes, accompanied by slightly fruity and woody hops. Slightly sweet and bitter flavour, light bodied with a modest carbonation. Delicately nutty toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel and a tinge of fruity hops; slim and mildly toasty and fruity finish with notes of caramel and berries in the aftertaste. Slim but likeable Bitter. 11.II.13

Canette 500ml. De couleur ambrée et très légèrement voilée. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de caramel terreux avec des notes de noix rôties, de fumée de cigarette, de houblon floral et herbeux. Plutôt mince en bouche et peu pétillante avec une texture très légèrement crémeuse et aux notes aqueuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle aux notes rôties avec un très léger goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un léger goût de caramel aux notes terreuses et d’un léger goût de biscuits puis en finale s’entremêle des notes de houblon floral et herbeux, de fumée de cigarette et de noix. Post-goût moyen et très légèrement sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes rôties, herbeuses et de noix.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown amber colour, foamy off-white head that diminshes and a roast malt aroma. A rich burnt roast malt taste balanced with hints of fruit and a dry hop bitter finish. Smooth mouth feel. Quite OK.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 30.04.2012
Aroma is sweet and somewhat stale with toffee, goldings hops and nuts. Flavour is sweet with toffee, nuts, and caramel. Palate is rather rich for a 4,1% ABV beer. A bitter with scotch ale feeling.

Has a soft malt & plant aroma. Body is copper-gold with an okay head. Flavour is coffee and nuts, with heavy barley notes. Mouthfeel is weak however. It could be great if the palate was stronger, but instead it’s just good.

Bottle from Tesco.
Light brown, medium frothy white head which dissipates to a thin layer, reasonable lacing.
The nose is dark caramel malt, hint of spicy hops, yeast, that Caley popcorny malt, sweet, hint of toffee, easy drinking.
Palate - soft carb, quite sweet, dull finish same as main flavour, smooth.
OK Scottish ale...easy drinking.
