cask at No. 2 Baker’s Street in Stirling - Pours amber and has a light aroma of caramel malt. The flavor is caramel malt sweetness with light bitterness. It’s smooth and overall a decent quaff.

Skunked caramel and cherry nose. Clear amber, thin yellowish head. Hay, dried leaves, and toffee flavor, relatively harsh mouthfeel for the style. Probably not the freshest sample, but still tasty.

50cl bottle from Morrisons. Gold with a thin white head; rather thin with a sweet malt flavour and gently bitter finish. Rather plain and ordinary, but at least there’s nothing wrong with it.

Cask. Poured amber with a bit of an orange hue and a ivory head. Aroma had grain from the malts and floral notes from the hops. Flavor was a bit more malt based with both caramel and sweet grains coming through with an undertone of the floral hops.

Provdatum: 2004-04-30 Var riktigt god för ett par år sedan. Tappade konceptet för ett par år sedan. Varför ta bort den den grova halsen ,fantastisk ide att kunna bälja i sig stora mängder på kort tid. Betyget är den nuvarande tappningen.

Bottle. Hoppy for being a brittish beer. Some strange malt tones and butter in the aftertaste.
