Rich, smooth and classy; just like Robert Burns. The bittersweet blend of flavours is derived from the crystal, black and pale ale malts, and fresh, aromatic hops. Dark amber in colour and full-bodied, this is just the sort of ale Burns would have savoured during his time as an officer of the Excise.

Cask at GBBF 2009. It’s a little bit silly when you know you have had it in pasteurised bottle but not on cask, but hey, wanted to try it. Red/amber thin beige head. Sweetish aroma. No real hop, more a strongish ruby mild than an ESB. OK

Bottle from Morrisons, Airdrie. Copper coloured with a decent, off-white head. Sweet fruit and doughy malt aroma. Full mouth feel, with some fruity malts, cereal and a short bitter finish. Ok.

Dark amber color. Some malt, some roundiness, some sweetness, some bitterness, a lot of boredom.
