0.5l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This one pours a clear woody-brown body with a small bubbly and quickly sidesticking off-white head. The first thing that hits the nose is sweet raisins and caramel. Also there is a clear oxidized tone all the way here, and it has a hint of butter scotch. Flavors are mild malty with a hint of thin caramel and burned sugar. A soft bitterness all the way and perhaps even some hints of wood. Drinkable, but not especially special . 16.06.2012

Cask @ JDW Muckle Cross, Elgin
Golden amber, clear, quite dense white head with some lacing
Aroma - pale malts, touch of hay, pale fruits, bit musty
Taste - pale malts, touch of honey, hint of rubber, soft old pale fruits, not a great flavour
Palate - soft carb, quite oily. Finish - some bitterness, bit metallic, odd plastic note
Overall - Well this wasn’t good...it isn’t an amber ale...is a golden ale/bitter

500ml bottle purchased at Centra Colosseum in Oslo a few months ago. Shared with Finn at a rating session. Nice to look at with an airy, beige head covering a brown-red tinted body. Fragile glass-lacing. Smell of basement and roasted malts. The taste profile is rather out of tune with spiced malts and some kind of acetic leather. Dark bitter ending. Unusual, possible to drink, but I won’t buy it again (Tromsø, 11.09.2012).

Flaske 0,5l. Spandert av og delt med Rune under ratesammenkomst hos ham 11 Sep 12. Mørkebrun. Svakt farget skum som fester seg til glasset. Aroma av lærsåler. Smaken er også lær. Som å befinne seg i et skomakerverksted og smake på varene. Litt tynn på smak.

(Cask at Gallows Bird, 20120908) The beer poured almost black and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had roasted malts and chocolate. Palate was less than medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, chocolate, grass, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was roasty and bitter. A nice mild but also watery.

Bottle. A clear, dark golden beer topped by a finger-thick, off-white head. Very weak aroma, with licorice, grass some dough and succade. Cardamom, dough, a touch of licorice and some faint bitterness in the flavor. Medium body, low but pleasant carbonation level. Short finish. A strange one, but drikable. 120413

Picked up at Centra Colosseum in Oslo. 500ml bottle to glass, shared with Finn at a rating session. Red-brown body colour. Tiny, but lasting, beige head, spare lacing. Fruity caramel to the nose. Malt-fruity taste with a good bite of resin. Semi-dry, bittersweet finish. A decent Brit bitter (Tromsø, 18.07.2012).

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours golden with steady bubbles and a nice head. The nose is very intriguing, definitely oranges and then a note of geraniums or other plant pot. The geraniums are not so obvious on the taste but the oranges are still there. The palate has a medium structure with a creamy texture and a nice clean finish. Overall, you’d think the oranges note would be too much but there is good refreshment there too.
