Keg at The White Cockade, Torry. It pours clear deepish brown with a. Medium fluffy white head. The aroma is toasty, grainy, brown bread, earthy, woody and nuttiness. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, earthy, grain, cardboard, brown water, rivita, brown bread, brown sugar, caramel, twiggy and wateryness with a dry, grainy cardboard finish. Light -medium body and moderate, velvety carbonation. Nice mouth feel, but no real taste. Nothing good anyhow. Basic.

Leichtes, malzig-süsses Braunes. Schmeckt etwas nach Fass, der Sirup grad noch im erträglichen Rahmen.

Dark orange amber. Artificial looking dense and persistent head and lacing. Taste of pale malt, crystal malt and a hint of succade and hops. Waterish and slightly metallic mouthfeel. From keg at Moloney’s London in Willesden London NW10 after travelling to a nearby shop to buy a price-reduced hairdrier and having to stop at the bar on the way back to the metro station because I desperately needed a pee. A proper working man’s pub. I guess I only could understand about one third of the sosiolect of the other punters. There was only keg beer in the bar. Unfortunately they were out of the Moloney’s Bitter.

0.33 l can from a Systembolaget, Eskilstuna. Had this one in Milano in 2005, made no notes. Clear brown, small off-white head. Mild nutty, malty, toasty and caramely aroma. Moderate caramely, sweet, toffee, toasty and lightly roasty flavour. Not sweet. Slightly bland, slightly thin, but not bad. Light finish.

Very nice looking beer, deep amber brown with a lovely, creamy off-white head and a nutty, malty aroma. Smooth and creamy with that same nutty, malty flavour, and an old-school bitterness

Drank many of these back in the day during the UK years, but have seemingly never rated. Brown with a frothy to creamy head. Distinctive aroma full of old leather, with a hint of smoke and a mild, nutty undertone. Taste is mildly, toasted bitter the whole way through. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, watery texture. Apart from the aroma, on the whole fairly bland.
