Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. Ordered on-line from Scotland. Hit the spot for whatever reason.

500ml bottle from Aldi - Hazy amber body, medium white head. Nose is a tinny caramel, yeasty, basement aroma. Taste is metallic, weak caramel, bit of a wash out. Not the best, not the worst.
