thx 4 great tasting Kimjohansen, formely known as Beljohansen :-) Clear amber, short head, notes of dried fruit and malt, sweet adn little bitter in finish. SaintMatty (330), Tallinn, Estonia Jun 30, 2008 500ml Bottle - Copper brown in colour. A fruity and malty aroma with some raisins. Tangy, fruity and slightly sweet taste with malt and raisins along with some noticeable but fairly subtle hops with grapefruit notes. Not bad. austone (247), Pori, Finland Jun 26, 2008 Copper, quite thick pale head. Straight butterscotch nose, warm spiciness and wood. Flavor is woody, mildly smoky with warm caramel maltiness, little grassy hops and earth. Light to medium bodied, easy drinking palate. Very Scottish indeed, nicely warm and woody. darkguardian (138), Florida, USA Jun 21, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a burnt amber with a long lasting creamy off white head. Nose is sweet malts with a bit of roast and a touch of smoke with some underlying fruitiness. Nice smelling scottish ale (btw if the bottle says its a scottish ale I have to question why its considered a ESB). Very similar to the Belhaven Scottish ale but not as dark and there is more fruit. The strong scottish malt flavor is there and definitely in the aftertaste but its not as bitter as the Scottish Ale either. Very good session scottish ale. Like this alot.
