I liked this. Too bad it’s not as easy to find as othes. But if you do find it, get it in the can, with the pressurized widget.

On tap. Poured a thick frothy white head of a translucent copper body with nice lacing. Very sweet aroma of malt, somewhat like Guinness. Tastes very sweet, roast barely makes a strong presence, slight chocolate undertones. Palate is watery, too watery. Had a friend try it and said it tasted like a cigarette dropped in tap water. Damn I thought, that’s exactly right. I expected better.

Pint glass from bottle Crisp cheap lager aroma. No real distinguishing characteristics. Pours a dark caramel with a foamy white head. Bitter boring flavor, slightly sweet yuengling. Disappointing, blah palate, bubbly and tangy.

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.
