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 Market Porter, Borough, London, 8 Aug 2008) Reddish brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with dark fruit and nuts. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark fruit, prunes, raisins and a fairly dry finish with hints of coffee. Decent beer, but doesn’t really leave a lasting impression.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A clear red beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma contains slight hints of cowberries as well as alcohol. The flavor is primarily of alcohol, that dries out the mouth combined with some metal notes during the beginning, and then turning into a end where cowberries take over.
