@ Kay’s Bar. The aroma is mostly buttery with a little bit of toast. Bright, brown with a thick head. Toasty palate, light bitterness and some diacetyl as well. This brewery has a lot of this sort of problem from what I can tell.

Small offwhite creamy head slowly settles. Slightly hazy yellow body. Fruity sugary floral aroma with resiny notes. Sweetish-dry dusty resiny wooden taste with strawy grainy notes. Smooth, mild mouthfeel, though very dusty. Clean, fresh palate. Dry dusty wooden grainy aftertaste with floral notes. Excellent! (0.25l cask, Oxford Bar, Edinburgh.)
