Bullit (1300), Glasgow, Scotland Nov 30, 2008 Amber colour, white head. Nose of caramel malts. Flavour has caramel malts and brown sugar. Nice sweet-bitterness to end with. This is a decent bitter. mcsquint (93), , Missouri, USA Nov 29, 2008 Poured from a 500ml bottle into large dimpled mug
Aroma - Full caramel malt aroma with a hint of nuts and tea
Appearance - CopperAmber in color with a quickly diminishing 1 finger off-white head.
Flavor - Sweet,caramel malt, roasted malt and a mild nutty flavor. Light on the hops.
Palate - Medium mouthfeel. A bit slick,light on the carbonation.
Overall - This is very similar to an Irish ale but with emphasis on malt instead of hops. Very drinkable. Would love to find an establishment that has this on tap
boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA Nov 27, 2008 Nitro @ Green Dragon... Poured copper-red with a thick, white head. Aroma had sweet, leafy malt and was very candy-like, maybe some apricot notes in there too. Silky and creamy palate and was served chillingly cold. Flavors of leafy hops with malt and floral fruit notes. Finished with subtle hops and cracker-like or cereal grains. frigidzephyr (14), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Nov 20, 2008 Draught at the Flying Saucer. Deep copper color, thick head, creamy feel, buttery flavor hint of spice. Finishes clear and smooth. Could drink several of these and still want more. MrBunn (1520), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 2, 2008 Draught can. Pours a deep amber with a thick and tall nitro head. Aromas of apple juice concentrate, caramel, cream/vanilla and a touch of floral hops. Flavor is a nice mix of the above with an almost peat like bitterness to it that then gives way back to the floral/fruity sweetness. Finishes with a creamy sweetness. Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Nov 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a translucent amber with big fading khaki head. Aroma is very creamy, with some butter, and a hint of vanilla. Flavor is a little like a lightly buttered biscuit, with caramel notes. Extremely nice velvety smooth medium full body, with a slight acidic twinge. Very enjoyable, and easy drinking. Avengedpoet (325), Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 23, 2008 Pours a deep copper with a frothy head that quickly collapses. Very nice crystal and biscuit malt aroma. Taste is very full, nice and malty with distinct biscuit/crystal taste. Subtleties of raisins and nuts. Very nice beer. A little thin tasting the more you drink of it. austone (998), Turku; Pori, Finland Oct 23, 2008 Draught at Kaisla. Dark copper, creamy pale head. Dry, rusty malty aroma, raisins and dates. Dry malty flavor, little cocoa and rust, smooth nutty finish. Almost medium bodied, low smooth carbonation. Alright dry mild.
