Pasteurised versions in bottle, can and keg.
Russet-brown best bitter with a malty fruit aroma and a good balance of dryness.

(Bottle 50 cl) Light brown, clear ale with a pretty high carbonation and rather absent head. Extremely soft - in spite of the high CO2 - soft water? Pronounced malt-character and a touch of nuts. Has a somewhat odd tart edge. 220604

Bottle Roasted Barley, Hops to a lesser degree, chocolate and fruit. Golden brown, big carbonation, foamy head. Chocolate, roast, mellow and well-balanced Medium body, yeasty exit. Going against the grain here, but I liked it - summer holiday bonus I guess.

The aroma is sweet malty with caramel notes. The color is dark amber and it has a beutiful beige head. The flaver is sweet malty with loads of caramel malt and notes of straws. A really nice version of a Scotch 80/- I could drink a lot of these.

This rating is for the nitro-keg version we get here in Toronto. It's decent in bottle, but not on nitro.
