7th July 2016: shared in La Rovira, Barcelona on the first evening of the RBESG. An on tap Scottish Smoked Porter, wasn’t expecting that. Red hue to the dark brown bodied beer, the beige head hanging around for a while. How do you like your liquid smoked Ham? This wasn’t salted. I do struggle with these sorts of brews. Scored objectively.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A slightly hazy straw coloured pour with the head immediately falling back to a thin white film; grainy aroma with a touch of citrus; full bodied with a sweet grainy taste; then a firm bitterness with some spice. A solid, satisfying lager.

Bottle. Near-black brown. Head disappeared quite quickly. Rich, chocolatey-coffee aroma, malt as well. Taste is chocolatey, typical porter in terms of being rich but not so heavy as a stout.some tangy fruit in there with the hop but the backbone of it is the bitter, chocolatey malt. Solid.

Hazy orange beer, slightly lively, white head. Bready, malty smell. Flavour is malt, orange, some bitter hop. Crisp and refreshing. Not the most spectacular wheat beer you’ll ever drink but it’s lovely and mellow given its strength and the deScription on here is right, it *is* pretty moreish.

Sample bottle from Dunns. Appearance - cloudy orange with a big fluffy head. Nose - candied orange or marmalade even. Cream at the back. Taste - more marmalade but dominated somewhat with yeast. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good finish. There’s a lot of yeast in this bottle though. Overall - there’s more yeast than at a thrush convention but all that said, it’s got decent flavour depth.
