I had this one quite a few times during a couple of weeks in St Andrews, both on cask and from 500ml bottles. Clear brown body. Bubbly, frothy beige head with fair lacing. Smell of sweet, earthy malts. Taste of chocolate and caramel malts, carefully mixed with spicy hops. Underlying smoky notes. Gentle bitter endnotes. Soft in the mouth. Aroma and taste are a bit more prominent in the cask version compared with the filtered bottle edition. The bottle version is also available from a few shops in Norway, even as far north as Tromsø [Late Oct. and early Nov. 2008].

From cask at Clockwork. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small yet dense off-white head. Dark fruity and roasted malty aroma. Light breadish and dark fruity flavoured. Holds a mild liqourice like note to a mild roasted malt base. Mild spiced malty yet also with a light acidic note arising out of the malt flavours. Bitter and dry finish.

500 ml bottle, bought at Lørenskog Brus-Shop. ABV is 4.1%. Golden colour, decent white head. Lovely aroma of fruity and floral hops, notes of honey. The flavour has distinct hops throughout, with grapefruity and nutty notes. Refreshing and moreish. Plenty of hoppy bitterness in the long aftertaste.
