Bottled(355ml). -Darker amber coloured, small off-white head, dusty light grainy nose. Low carbonation. Toasted malt, caramel and slight grainy with notes of spices and fruits. Dry nutty finish.

Bottled both as 80/- and Scottish Ale (argh) at the Kaledonia in Budapest. Poured a lovely dark alber/coppery body with a persistant small thick white head. Light, subtle grainy malty notes, noted orange (80) and grass (SA) as well. Light, subtle earthy maltiness, grainy, sweetish, with a persistant bitterish aftertaste and even a touch of acidity (80). Clean and drinkable but lacking. Might be overrating it a little.

Cascading guinness like pour, which becomes a brown color, thick nitro white head. Huge lacing. Aroma of stale malt and brown sugar. Bland cereal flavor, a bit sweet and watery. Nitro makes it smooth, but there’s no flavor.

Brown pour. Malty aroma with a touch of hops and cheese. Malt and cereal flavor dominates, and there is a touch of roastiness and cheese. Pretty smooth going down, but it could use some more robustness. I used to think this was a first rate Caledonian brew, but not any more. It is pretty good.

Pours deep golden colour with a long-lasting head. Bread and toffee were clear in the aroma. Bitter, malty taste with some sweetness. Spicy hops in the finish. Easy to drink beer.

A good scottish ale. The head was decent and the color was nice. The aroma wasn’t too sweet nor too bittter. As for the taste, the same can apply. Smooth going down. A good beer, but nothing exceptional.

Has a nice overall flavor without being too strong. A mild bitter (to my taste), but not weak or watery.

On tap at Stout in NYC. Pours a pale color with moderate creamy head. Aroma is very light and perhaps a a bit hoppy if anything. Flavor is bitter but not too overpowering. The smooth texture of the beer balances out the bitter very well. Palate was full and smooth. Decent brew, especially for a warmer day.
