Caramel aroma, reddish brown body, burnt coffee beans flavor, thin off-white head, strong finish. Leaves slight alcoholic aroma on the palate. I loved it in general

Bottle: Poured a dirty light amber color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of dry English hops with lingering peats malt notes (or maybe I was dreaming but seems there was definite smoke notes). Body is quite full with good carbonation and light alcohol level makes this even more enjoyable. Easily drinkable though quite complex – finish was maybe a tad too dry.

Cask at The Malt Shovel, Edinburgh. Pale amber coloured, small off-white head, malty nutty nose. Malty caramel taste with some traces of hops and fruits. Watery palate, short dry finish. Quite boring bitter.

Cask at Cafe Royal Circle Bar, Edinburgh. Clear amber coloured, small off-white head, almost no carbonation. Sweet malty, surprisingly hoppy and mild caramel taste with nutty and fruity notes. Touch of smoke in rather dry finish. One of the better beer I’ve tried in Edinburgh.

500 ml bottle from my friend in Aberdeen! Nose is nice flowery hops and light grassiness. Lightly hazy yellow with a medium, pale yellow head. Flavor is lightly sweet corn with a slight buttery hint.
