2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
On draught at the Edinburgh University Library Bar. It’s a dark amber colour with a generous head. The nose is more malty than biscuity. The taste has initially a malty/creamy note but this continues into a burnt astringent malt taste on the end. The palate has a medium body and texture but as I was saying above, the finish is astringent rather than pleasant and refreshing. Overall, another typical beer from the Caley.
