03/04/16Bottle from Asda Bridge of Don. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is sweet, biscuit, grainy, light vanilla, white sugar, honey and some earth. The taste is sweet, sugary, white bread, earth, toasty grain, cereal, sweet whisky twang and honey with a dryish finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. I wasn’t expecting much and that’s what I got. Pretty sweet and not depth whatsoever. I would choose I&G over this. 2.5 For real.
03/09/2015 Bottle thanks to Dan. It pours clear pale orange with a small white head. The nose is soft, sweet, icing sugar, dried apricot, dried mango, booze, vanilla and apple. The taste is crisp, sweet, peach, nectarine, mango, sugar, sweet bread, cake, soda water and wood with a short, dry finish. Light body and average carbonation. Watery and weak. So-so. 2.7, so 2.6 avg.

500ml bottle: BBD Jan 16. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 6th Mar 15 during a Scottish tasting session I had with myself while chatting in a virtual bar thread on RateBeer. Nice colour, leaning towards terracotta, well it had a red hue to it’s brown anyway: the top a creamy coloured covering. Hedgerow berries and malty molasses in the nose: the taste follows the same lines, there is a mild bitter and drying finish but this is a malty brew foremost.

Many thanks to Sean. The beer starts malty, fresh. Slightly bitter with a watery background. Smooth, dry. Nice with hints of dry malt. Fresh, dry malty aftertaste. Long intense Ale-bitter aroma on the tongue. Nice one!

Bottle from Aldi. Clear gold thin layer of bubbles. Slightly hoppy aroma touch of pale malt sweetness. Bit of bitterness on the finish. Ok if unexciting.

Opaque black beer with a thin head. Smells of toasty malt. Flavour has a tangy fruit hit tempered by the same toasted malts from the aroma and sweet chocolate. It’s a shame it doesn’t have a touch more body but otherwise it’s good, with a surprisingly fresh edge to it which you don’t expect from a stout.
