Nitro Can. Aroma of English malts with a little smoke and a subltle bitterness. Pours amberish. Flavor is similar to aroma. Malty with touches of smokeyness and a delicate bitter finish. Smooth and easy drinking. Enjoyable.

Nitro Can under the Scottish Ale label. Pours a creamy tan that takes minutes to clear of carbonation. Flavor of toffee and caramel. nice bitter.

12oz bottle at Annie Bailey’s, Lancaster, PA...pours cream soda brown...smell is mild, malty, sweet toffee-like...taste is of caramel and butterscotch...thin-medium mouthfeel...I passed this one up one night earlier at The Pressroom, but there it was the next night...I’m glad I tried it...good bitter, but unlike other bitters I’ve had before...bartender was way off telling me it was over 5 abv.

A Sim rate (on tap at the Flyng Saucer Memphis): Wheaty pils flavour with a similar aroma. Appearance is ok, but with great lace. That’s probably this beer’s most redeeming feature. It’s not that great.

500 ml bottle. Golden copper color with a decent tight bubbled head. Aromas were very sweet and matly. Caramel, toffee, chocolate. Flavors fell off a bit with some more of the same, but a little less exciting than the aromas. Overall pretty good.

the beer is dark brown. the flavor is mainly of an artificial type of smoke. this flavor overrides the tase of the beer acting as a major distraction. the beer is watery in body and yet still flavorful. his does not appeal to me. it is a little bit sweetish with some kind of nutty malt perhaps peaty thing going on. never been a winner in my book. the quicker the finish the better.
