Bottle from Sainsbury’s. A golden amber colour with lots of white head leaving some lacing; quite highly carbonated. Quite light to drink with a malty taste, then a pleasantly bitter aftertaste leaving the palate dry. Unfortunately I didn’t have any haggis on hand to try with it - according to the back of the bottle... "Hunted in the heather covered hillsides of the highlands, these reclusive creatures traverse the hillside only in an anti-clockwise direction, due to the unequal length of their legs." - as my shotgun has a clockwise bend in the barrel I’ll never bag one of the blighters!

Pintl on cask at Oliver Twist in Stockholm. Appealing flourish aroma shines through from this golden brown brew with its small white head. Hoppy taste with moderate hints of grapefruit. A bit watery palate, but otherwise well balanced (02.12.2006).

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy off-white head. Fruity and nutty nose with notes of toffee, orange and apricots. Fruity, hoppy taste with orange, grapefruit and a nice dash of hops in the finish. A bit sweet. The low abv and the great hop flavour makes this quite enjoyable.

Bottle. A wood smoke, chocolate malt and alcohol aroma - initially had a medicinal smell but that faded as it warmed - had it too cold. Midnight black with small film of a head. Smokey dark chocolate flavor with moderate hops throughout. Nice full-bodied beer - well balanced.

Bottle. Bright amber color with a good white head and moderate condition. Low citrus hop aromas, some sweet malt in the mouth with good level of resinous hop flavour and a relatively long hop bitter finish.

Pale golden in colour with only a low level (ring) of foam This is a very well built beer that starts with a delicate hoppy and fresh floral aroma. The flavour is fruity, first you notice the grapefruit and then a good dash of lemon comes through. At the end there is a rounded taste of bitter hops. Easy drinkable and very moreish (Half on gravity in perfect condition at the firste day of The 11th St Albans Beer Festival 27.09.2006).

Cask/gravity at The St Albans Beer Festival 27 Sep 06. Clear golden coloured. A tiny head. Enormous aroma of fruit: Apricot. Refreshing fruity flavour with a bitter and sourish aftertaste with hints of grapefruit.

Deep black with a thick light moka lacing head, not very carbonated. Nice chocolate malt aroma, like bitter chocolate. In mouth, a nice chewy chocolate malt with notes of bitter coffee, and light herbal notes. Long and sustained bitterness from roasted malts. Rich bodied. A very nice old ale veering on porter territory. Bieropholie import mid 2005.

330ml bottle bought at Utobeer in London(15.09.2006). Almost black in colour with a brownish head that last for a while. Strong malty aroma with hints dark fruit. Chocolate and dried-fruit flavour. Touch of sourness and some yeast now and then. Nice bitter ending.
