draft at the Portcullis in Stirling - Pours amber and smells of caramel and grainy malt. The flavor is mainly sweet with caramel and a touch of hops. It’s medium bodied and the hops are subdued enough that along with the sweetness put me in mind of scottish ales.

Can in Edinburgh. Dark brown beer with reddish tints and a very tall, tan head. Sweet, malty aroma, with caramel and a touch of chocolate. Amazingly sweet flavor. No hops at all, and no real bitter roasted character either. Just sweet, malty, molasses, and some fruitiness. Cola-like. There is just a touch of sour in there for balance. Rather sickening, I thought.

Pour is yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is kind of skunk with some grain in there. Kinda the same for the flavor. Just a plane old dumb lager. The Scotts really drink the hell out of this though.

440ml can of Tennents Velvet with a nitro-widget Poured copper with a half-inch of creamy cream head; strong malty aroma; rather thin with a weak malty flavour; some light hops to finish. Drinkable, but there’s not a lot more to say about it.
Rerate:500ml can of Tennents Special Attractive copper colour with a thin film of white head; simple malty aroma and flavour. More drinkable than the Velvet as it’s less gassy.
