A predominantly malty, lightly hopped beer giving a satisfying fullness of flavour with a warm finish. A glass or two is a must before seeking an audience with the monster!

Cask @ Old Mill, Brodie
Light chestnut brown, clear, thin tight white head, some lacing
Aroma - soft caramel malts...bit of dark toffee...soft toasted malts...no hops
Taste - caramel toffee malts...light chocolate caramel...malty...light fruity malts in background...very soft bitter hops in background...less malty than Iβve had it before, flavour bit subdued
Palate - very soft carb, thinnish body, sweet malty palate. Finish of soft toffee malts...caramel malts...soft malty tail with slight burnt note.
Overall - Easy drinking but remember it being considerably more malty and having more flavour...bit bland today

Half, cask at Dagda Bar. Slightly off-white head with good duration atop of an attractive, clear dark amber body. Smell of resin-like hops mixed with earthy malts. Resinous hops up front in flavour with dark, bread-like malts behind. Solid bitter end. A good one (Edinburgh, 28.11.2010).
