Caledonia söröző, Budapest, Oktogon. Amikor pár évvel ezelőtt először kóstoltam aszontam, öcsém ilyen jó kis sört rég nem ittam, teljesen selymes teste vajként olvadt el a nyelvemen, igazán tökéletes volt. De... azóta akárhányszor kóstolom újra, nem érzem ugyanazt az első katarktikus érzést, szerintem nem is lehetne stoutnak nevezni, inkább egy barna ale. Nem értem, hogy lehet ez? Engem csaltak meg csak az érzékeim, vagy tényleg megváltozott a McCallum?

Bottle, 355 ml. Clear reddish brown beer with a small light beige head. Malty sweet aroma, nutty, bready, light toffee-ish, a touch of honey or flowers in bloom. Taste is rather sweet with fruity notes of oranges and lightly roasted malts. Very soft carbonation, light body. Not exactly what I would define as a stout, but I actually quite like it. Fits perfext with the spring setting in right now. Finish is light bitter.

Впервые попробо& это пиво несколь& лет назад в пабе и долго искал его в продаже, наконец- нашёл и теперь наслажд& Это моё любимое пиво.

Bottiglia di vetro chiaro da 355 ml che lascia intravedere perfettamente il colore somigliante alla coca-cola. Color coca-cola con schiuma fine, persistente di color nocciola. I profumi non sono molti su tutti una leggera tostatura e frutta matura rovinati da una leggera acidità. Al palato note maltate e tostate con un finale leggermente amaro che lascia spazio ai sapori di frutta matura.

355 ml. bottle from Netto. Clear, dark amber colour with a fast fading off-white head. Sweet aroma with lots of caramel, bread and a light roasted note. Not much bitterness for a stout, more like a well made dunkel. Light to medium sweet taste. Medium body, actually very good for the abv. Creamy texture with a soft carbonation, medium length finish where a little bit bitterness kicks in. Not a stout in the classical sense, still a good and drinkable beer.

Rating #688, flaske fra Netto

En meget cola-lignende øl; brun og perlende med et luftigt, hurtigt forsvindende skum. Duften er brød-agtig og har et strejf af chokolade, men ellers er der ikke meget ud over lidt malt. Den minder mere om en dunkel indtil videre. Smagen har da stout-egenskaber i form af ristet malt og chokolade, måske en meget lille snert af lakrids, men ellers er den stadig brød-agtig og meget mild. Lidt "våd" i smagen, som noget gammelt hø eller lignende. Der er kun en smule både alkohol og bitterhumle. Der er heller ikke meget at komme efter i hverken tyngde eller tykkelse, hvor den ligger helt gennemsnitligt. Det er som sådan ikke en dårlig øl, og helt velsmagende, men det er under ingen omstændigheder det man ville kalde en progressiv stout.

29-FEB-2012. Bottle @home. From "Netto". Clear brown, no head. Nose is caramel, nuts, and a faint roast. Taste the same with rye bread and a touch of herbs - mint? Coca-cola like taste and carbonation as well. Thin body, short finish, almist no bitterness. Stout...? Naaaah!
