Orangey-amber; malty, but slight flavour; touch of caramel & copper. Too light for its own good, as it disappears across the palate.

Had this in 2002 (score = 3.2). Re-rated at the Cask & Barrel in Edinburgh, Sept 2010. Very dark brew. Smokey, with a beef jerky note, liquorice and some sort of gamey biltong...fun nose. Smoky palate, meaty, nice light malt character. Oh fun stuff!
