Can. Amber colour with a mediumsized foamy off-white head. Aroma is toasted, mild herbs, earth and some grainy tones. Flavour is grainy, herbal, watery, mild wooden and some toasted tones to it. Mild nutty elements in the finish.

On keg at Dean Tavern in Newtongrange - deep russet body and a little white head. Not much in the nose or taste. Very light and easy.

Can thanks to Scopey. A clear amber brown coloured pour with a fine off white head. Aroma is simple nutty malts stewed veg, toast, some bread brown. Flavour is composed of simple nutty malts some dried fruits, chalky, baking powder. Palate is semi sweet, dry chalky, highish carbonation. Simple. .

Can from Tesco as Tennents Special. It pours clear brown with a foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, malt - driven, brown bread, malt, loaf, light ginger bread and wet cardboard. The taste is dry, sweet caramel, brown bread mostly, malt loaf, wet cardboard and toasty grain with a drying finish. Light body and average carbonation. Pretty bland stuff, but to be honest there is a lot worse out there. Brown summaries this beer.

Nice copper color with a fine thick white head. God lacing down the glass. Typical malty and toffee dominated British bitter. But quite balanced and ok. Also a decent carbonation that made it quite fresh. Absolutely ok. Decent 3,5% ale.
[On tap at Tolbooth Bar in Glasgow, Scotland]

Can from Tesco, Corby. Copper with a red tint, although practically no head. With a low carbonation, this is a sweetened bitter. Passable but unexciting.
