3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask at the Bon Accord, Glasgow - I could detect no aroma at all from this beer. Nice and clear dark brown ale with moderate carbonation. Taste was moderately bitter with a lasting bitter but not over powering aftertaste. Easy to drink, but not my favourite flavour. I would certainly revisit this beer though.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at the Halfway House, Edinburgh, 29/12/06. Pours a clear gokd with a slight head and some lacing. Has a fantastic smoky whisky scent, but the flavour sees caught between two stools. It starts sweet and then goes over to bitterness, with whisky hints. Medium weight to the palate and a good lingering aftertaste. This is an interesting beer that is well worth sampling if you can find it.
