Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
Medium-bodied, with a subtle hop aroma, on the palate this luxurious beer has a deep, full flavour which balances a toasty maltiness, mild bitterness, and a hint of sweet herbs. It finishes clean and mostly dry, but with a faintly subtle sweetness.

500ml bottle picked up at Luvians I St Andrews. Malt-accented beer with a creamy, off-white head resting over a ruby dark body. Smell of bready malts. Flavoured by malt with nuances of dark fruits, ending with bittersweet notes. Soft carbonated [30.10.2008].

Bottled 50cl. It pours a dark chestnut colored beer with an excellent head retention. The head itself is lightly tanned and nicely creamy. Beautiful lacework. The nose is of malt, candy floss, honey and coffee. Pleasantly smoky. Slightly medicinal. Very nice sweet malty flavor. Full bodied. Perfectly balanced. Woody, smoky with hints of mince pies and raisins. Lightly sour and salty. Low bitterness. Wonderful finish with hints of licorice, aniseed, pumpernickel and heather. Flawless and deeply pleasant.
