Nitro. Smells of roast malt, chocolate. Flavor is roasty and chocolatey with a little coffee. It’s on the dry side but not as dry as, say, a Guinness. Smooth.

Cask at Archibald Simpsons, Aberdeen. It pours clear golden - amber with a small fluffy white head. The aroma is toasty grains, cereal, malt - driven, woody, earth, twiggy, kinda perfumed and dull citrus. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty grains, cereal, nuttiness, bitter - sweet, toffee, woody, earthy, muted marmalade and herbal/spicy notes with a dry, toasty finish. Average body and soft carbonation. A bit too spicy and dry, not as drinkable.as I would have liked.

Festival pint draft at Hebrides West End, Edinburgh, Scotland. Cask pour. It is a very nitro pour and now is a clear dark gold color with a small, creamy, tight white head and excellent retention. Virtually no aroma. Super creamy mouthfeel. Malty lager taste with some bread. This is a very well made golden ale. Really clean and easy drinking, but not the most flavorful. So it's lovely to drink, but not excellent taste. But not bad taste either. Medium body and low carbonation as suggested by the cask pour. Zero bitterness.

Kicsi, nem túl tartós hab, vörösesbarna szín. Gabonás, karamelles illat. Enyhén savanykás, karamelles, malátás íz. Könnyű, enyhén szénsavas, alig keserű.
