Bottle. Cloudy orange with a white head. Faint malt aroma, developing some caramel. Malty taste, slightly glue-like, with a mid bitter finish. My enjoyment of this beer was probably heightened by the fact that while consuming it, I was watching England giving the French a sound thrashing at Twickenham.

Amber with a lasting off-white head, leaving lace. Aroma of toffee and malt with a faint roasted note. Dry and malty flavour, slightly roasted and with a little fruit

Cask (handpump) at the Old Mitre, Holborn. Brewed specially for their Scottish beer festival according to the landlord. Rich reddish colour. Quite a depth of malt but nicely balanced with some tangy hops. Fairly full flavoured and full bodied. Pretty decent stuff.
