3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
[500ml bottle] Pours a dark caramel colour with a very generous white head. Rich, toffee aroma – plenty of sweetness on the nose. May not exactly be ’poetry in a glass’ as claimed, but the malt balance is good enough, and although quite sweet, there’s no sickly molasses-heavy aftertaste that befuddle many of its contemporaries. Burns was fond of ’reaming swats’, and I think he would approve of this one [25012009]
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden-brown colour with a thin head and a nice sparkle. Malt-accented and slightly fruity aroma. Caramelly and slightly earthy palate. Fairly tastey for a supermarket brew. I’d rather it live, but it was good enough pasteurized.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Toffee aroma and taste, slight malt, slightly sweet which is typically scottish, nice copper appearance
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours caramel brown. Strong caramel and vanilla notes. Fairly heavy malt flavor. It’s ok
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Mild-würziger, etwas saurer Antrunk. Im Mittelteil dagegen prickelnd herb-malzig, wenn auch eher im Unterton. Die teilweise zurückhaltende Würze führt hier weiter und leitet auch den Nachgeschmack, in dem es sich mit dem malzigen Aroma verbindet. Für 4,2% komplex-lecker!
Test vom 27.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,11,11,12,12,12 - 11,20
