50cl bottle thanks to Lewis. Pours dark honey in colour. Nose of resin and stalky vegetables. The taste has honey and mountain herbs. The palate is medium bodied and textured with a reasonably clean finish. Overall, it’s not a bad beer - but it’s NOT A GERMAN HEFE IT’S A WIT.

Pint, hand pulled in the Wrekin Inn, Wellington Shropshire diring Oct 2011. Golden, but dull: on top a poor excuse for a head, just a thin wisp and collar from the start. Slight malty aroma, toffee and caramel hints, all minimal. The taste was semi-sweet with some small hop bitterness later in the mouthfeel. There were citrusy notes in the bitterness and earthy biscuits from the malts. A strange beer all round, pleasant enough but not really putting its mark on anything, run of the mill, average in all aspects to be honest. Pity, it had travelled a long way from home to be consumed in Shropshire, maybe the journey didn’t suit it?

Cask @ Old Mill, Brodie
Light chestnut brown, clear, thin tight white head, some lacing
Aroma - soft caramel malts...bit of dark toffee...soft toasted malts...no hops
Taste - caramel toffee malts...light chocolate caramel...malty...light fruity malts in background...very soft bitter hops in background...less malty than I’ve had it before, flavour bit subdued
Palate - very soft carb, thinnish body, sweet malty palate. Finish of soft toffee malts...caramel malts...soft malty tail with slight burnt note.
Overall - Easy drinking but remember it being considerably more malty and having more flavour...bit bland today

Lovely looking beer: hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoons on 31st March 2012. Red hue to the brew, deep amber really though: creamy head in texture and colour. Mixed bag of smells in the aroma: malts and hop joining to give a pleasant beery feel with the hops just about stronger. The taste is also an easy blend of flavours; this time the malts leading the way in strength and power. A hop dryness appears towards the end of each sip (Cascade, Challenger and Chinook hops used). Easy drinking beer.

Bottle from Tomlinsons Beer Shop, Inverness
Amber, crystal clear, thin white head that dissipates to rim
Aroma - very light caramel malt, very light toffee, slight spices ?ginger?...aroma is very very faint
Taste - caramel malts, light soft toffee, bit fruity, slight spices, after a while a bit of orange comes though, bit lacking in flavour here - definitely not a hefeweizen flavour - easy drinking though
Palate - very soft carb, thin body, slighly oily texture, touch of bitterness. Finish as main flavour, rapid, dull, bit of bitter toasted biscuit in the tail
Overall - Nothing like the style - but that’s not important to me - just as a beer it’s a bit bland to me.....it’s certainly better on cask as I remember it

Bottle from Tomlinsons Beer Shop, Inverness
Black, frothy tan head, good lacing
Aroma of soft sweet rich dark caramel malts, molasses, treacle, smooth, no roast aroma, can’t get any hops
Taste of dark treacle, dark sugars, dark caramel malts, some liquorice, very soft roasted malts, alcohol very well hidden, less complex than Black Gold
Palate - soft carb, medium to full body, very creamy, smooth, dark sugars on palate. Finish as main flavour, liquorice comes through much more in the finish.
Overall - Really smooth tasty stout...I do prefer the Black Gold though
