330ml bottle. Hazy amber with a very slight, soapy head. Sweet malt aroma, taste is also sweet malt with very little else. Disappointing from St Andrews

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Opaque black - brown beer, good tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent carbonation. Mild roast in the dark malts, some cream too. Mild piney hop and a little hop spice. Fairly dry finish. Spicy roasty linger. A bit dry but decent.
