Very nice - aroma is very malty, with a definite caramel note. Flavor is medium hoppy, with herbal hop qualities and overall is pretty well balanced. One of the better session pale ales.

Weird: has the beer changed or was I loony in my previous rating, waxing of vanilla, caramel and fruit? I still think this is great but my current sampling is nothing like that (Personally I think the beer is the same I was the who was off). Near opaque but showing a dark red, with med beige head that lasted well, with light lacing. Aroma was moderate, but hinted at bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor is more bittersweet chocolate, perhaps a hint of smoke or tobacco to go with roasted malt, and a definite dry finish - as dry a beer as I've had. Very drinkable, a great session porter.

A moderately hoppy amber ale, IMO. Nice crisp but understated hop aroma, and well balanced dryish flavor with some almost smoky undertones (but that could be false - given that I expected it to have a scottish ale flavor at first sampling)

Amber colour; Remarkably toasty nose. Very toasty palate, with a hop jam spread over top for a cedary bitterness.
