Cask at the halfway house, Edinburgh. It pours clear mahogany brown with a decent off-white head. The nose is earthy, brown bread, dirt, twig and dried fruit. The taste is toasty, brown bread, earth, light caramel and leather with a dry finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Could be done with a touch more body. Ok bitter.

On cask at Au Bar. Appearance - dark brown with red chinks. Nice head. Nose - toffee and biscuit but you have to search. Taste - the toffee is there but astringent malt takes over. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a dry and slightly astringent finish. Overall - solid but hard going at times.

Amber and hazy. Crackery character, w a slightly sweet edge. Balanced with an off-dry finish. Decent big brewery bitter.

Clear dark caramel beer with a mild malt aroma. Flavour is malt, caramel, fruit and mild hop too. Finish was slightly watery but it’s a drinkable enough beer.

500ml bottle: BBD Apr 2013. Poured into two half-pint glasses on 2013’s New Years Eve @ home. Dark brown with a red hue: on top a biege foam, looked fine. Caramel malty nose and taste, some fruitiness in there too. inbetween the sweetness there is a hop presence that just sits nicely preventing the brew to be just a sweet malty tasting sickly beer. Easy drinking with a good body feel to it: leaning towards rich and creamy but not quite getting there. This was an ideal start to our ’Drinking around Europe’ New Years Eve.

A slightly hoppy nose but in the mouth more of a malty beer. Smooth, not bitter. Drinkable.
