Bottle. Gold, foamy white head. Fruit and citrus nose. Possibly some elderberries. Sweet malts with light balancing bitterness and a touch of sourness. Middle-of-the-road bottled bitter. (Oops, spoke too soon): by the end of the pint it seemed oversweet and rather less pleasant - reducing from 3.3 to 2.8.

Creamy, tan head that is a little oily. The retention was surprisingly short. Beautiful mahogany color. Aromas is a sweet malt. On the initial taste, the malts were not as pronouced as expected, however the mid-palate carried strong, dark malts and dried raisins. A lot going on in this beer through the mid-palate. Bitterness really comes through on the finish, although the finish left quickly, leaving sweet tar flavor on the lips, and a tingly, viscous feeling. Because of its style and origin, i would serve this with a hearty beef stew.

Small white creamy head takes a long time to settle. Yellowish coppery hazy body. Faint floral wooden aroma. Dry-sweetish floral fruity resiny taste with wooden notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Mid-to-thin body. Clean and fresh palate. Dryish floral watery wooden aftertaste with dusty resiny notes. Quite nice, but a bit thin. (0.25l cask, The Barony Bar, Edinburgh.)

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and sulphur, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.
