Nose is light, coffee, a little cola. Taste is vanilla, hazelnut, figs, slight lactose, sticky sweet slightly vinious finish. As it warmed it got a strong coffee liqueur taste. Mouthfeel far too thin for the style, perhaps suited to warmer climes. A thin stout.

Drunk in copious amounts on two previous trips to Barbados, but this rating based upon a bottle bought at Tesco. Pours out a light golden colour, with a smallish white head. Malt aroma, quite sugary sweet. Average carbonation and body for a pale lager. This stands up well compared to others similar.

Golden lager, no head. Has an agreeable enough nose, but is seriously lacking in flavour.

Bottle shared at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter Tasting 2013 - London. Pours clear gold with a white cream head. Effervescent. Lots of oxidized malts in the nose, some toasty caramel. Medium sweet flavor with light dry grains, tangy fruits, caramel. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Further oxidized malts in the finish, along with tangy caramel, light fruits and cereal. Fair.

Bottle at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter 2013 Tasting - London. Muchas gracias to the Rilester for bringing this gem back from his tour abroad - and thanks to Colin for coaxing him into doing so. Pours clear, bright gold with a fine, creamy white head. Sugary grains in the nose with hints of oxidation, some cardboard, white bread. Big sweet flavor with lots of sugary white bread, mild paper, honey, light toffee, some marmalade, golden raisins. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly warming finish with some sticky-sweet sugars, further suggestions of oxidation, bready malts, ripe fruits. So so. It’s actually a lot better than you might think. No, seriously.
