3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Jan 2010: Brown 500ml bottle obtained while visiting St Andrews. Poured into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ vase shaped pint glass.
Dark reddy copper body, clear and clean, a creamy foam of a tan colour sat on top. The produced plenty of lacing as the beer sank down the glass.
Malts and toffee esters hit my nose, although it didn’t smell sweet.
More malt than anything else in the taste, the toasted/roasted flavour is there throughout the sip. The hops bring in a bitterness towards the end of the mouthfeel making this a very drinkable beer indeed. The 4.2%ABV sits well within the brew, this is a good well balanced bevvy.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
500ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy copper-amber, with a smallish off-white head, which lasts quite well, and leaves decent lacing. Toffee malt notes mingle with some berry fruit and a touch of fruitcake on the nose. Quite strong hops, for a bitter, bring pepper, spice and a touch of lemon, the latter of which lingers into a slightly sweeter, fruitier body. This brings berry and toffee notes into play, and they last into the finish, which also has some candied fruits. A nice, drinkable bitter, it goes down easily, but doesn’t lack interest.

Bottled, 500ml from The George & Abbotsford Hotel Bottle Shop, Melrose, Borders. Red Amber with white head. Chunky, fruity malt notes initially, some soft berries within the flavour, hints of caramelisation of sugars. Becomes a little metallic on the palate, but still nicely drinkable.
