Bottle: Ruby-amber coloured, stable medium-sized off-white head; sweetish malty and toasty nose with a tinge of liquorice and some hoppy traces; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, soft and medium-bodied; traces of cacao in the moderate to solid bitter-sweet finish, lingering hops in the aftertaste. A good ESB in the scottish way......

Medium offwhite creamy head. Dark brown body. Fruity spicy aroma with faint vinegary caramel notes. Sweet-dryish roasty caramel and licorice taste with spicy wooden notes. Smooth, soft, mild velvety mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry roasty fruity caramel taste with wooden spicy honey notes. Very mild, but incredibly drinkable. (0.25l cask, The Blue Blazer, Edinburgh.)

Half pint, hand pulled and well kept cask at Guildford Arms. Good looking with its deep golden brown body, and a thin head that laces moderately around the glass. Smell of sweet malts followed by a flavour of leafy hops and some hints of caramel malts. Rounded bitter endnotes. Edinburgh, 23.10.2008.
