500ml bottle as Export 80 Shilling Ale purchased at a Wine Rack store in St Andrews, Scotland. Pours an off-white head resting for a while on top of a golden brown body. Decent laceworks. Modest smell of plain malts. Assorted flavours of grain, malt and fruit, ending with a touch of bitter berries. Partial fizzy in the mouth [St Andrews 01.11.2008].

On tap at the Cock and Bull (formerly the Glendale Pub). Pours a nice dark brown with thick rich tan head. Aroma is bready, sweet, and yeasty, nice. The flavor is sweet up front, a bit meaty, smoky, with a bit of bitterness at the back of the tongue. Palate is nice and creamy. This is a good beer, probably a good introduction to better beer for people new to good beer.

500 mL. Pours a nice amber with a small beige head. Aroma of caramel malt, apple cider, and toffee. Taste is buttery with some candy and molasses. Creamy mouthfeel. Bitter, slightly hoppy aftertaste.

Draught can. Nice light amber color. White head with decent lacing. Sweet malt nose with hints of vanilla. Same with the flavor. Bit too smooth for me, could be due to the fact that it is from a can.

12oz bottle. Pours a a rich deep amber body with a two finger white head. Aroma of rich fruit with sweet caramel, nuts and bread. Tastes as it smells with a light hop finish. Smooth and well balanced.
