Bottle from BevMo. A little skunk from the opening. Gold color with virtually no head. Typical grainy aroma with a small amount of grassy hop; no skunkiness at this point. Thin to medium body with sort of chewy carbonation. Flavor is grainy with a very light bitter finish. Actually one of the better lights, although a burnt rubber note crops up.

Bottle at Chris_o birthday bash 08. Thanks to Hughie for this one. Amber, thin beige head. Red ale type aroma. Red ale flavours in mouth. Bit of whisky in there somewhere, but ok and much better than I was expecting too.

Bottle, Carringtons, Didsbury. Pours a muddy copper colour. Sweetish malty aroma. Quite a strange flavour but not unpleasant - sweetish again with hints of chewy toffee. Would try again.

Clear bottle. Aroma is grassy with weak hops. Yellowish pour, with a small white foamy head that all but disappears soon after it is poured. Flavor is weak malts with a heavy influence of grass. Nearly indistinguishable from any other pale lager.

500 ml blue "liqueur design" bottle, bought in Edinburgh. "Lote 00148". ABV is 4.7%. Black coloured beer, reddish brown in the highlights. Large to moderate tan head. Unusual aroma with notes of balsamic vinegar, dark fermenting fruits, ensilage, burnt rubber and glue, hints of chocolate and liquorice - good and not-so-good at the same time. The flavour is moderately roasty, fruity and acidic with distinct notes of smoke, hints of liquorice. The mouthfeel is a bit thin. Very far from being the best porter in the world, but worth a try.
