Tap at The Royal Calpe, Gibraltar. Almost black with a lasting firm beige colour head. Aroma of sweet malt, and light roasted chocolate. Sweet with a light but noticeable roasted bitterness. Body is full, texture slick, little by way of carbonation. Finish has more bitterness. Not a great stout but certainly drinkable.

Not my cup of ale.
Clear deep golden color with a small off white head. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium (+) body and an average to soft carbonation. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Toffee, malty, herbal and a weak barrel flavor.

500ml bottle at Ayre Hotel Restaurant in Kirkwall. A bright amber coloured body. Crocheted lacing from a medium beige head. Plain caramel nose. Taste of caramel as well with distant bitterness towards the ending. Easy going with the food (16.04.2016).

To Ale pachnie naprawdę Whisky i smakuje. Czy zeczywiscie to Single Malt, czy nie tansze Blended trudno mi to tu wyczuć i rozroznic. Nie mniej piwo jest slodowe, Whisky dominuje, jest sporo wanilli i toffi. Piwo bursztynowo herbaciane z lekka metnoscia. Zakonczenie miodowo cytrynowe.
