drpimento (1748) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 16, 2010
A super smooth hand-pulled gem. Served with a creamy cream colored head and loads of lace. Medium dark amber color. Aroma is toffee, caramel, butterscotch, and burnt sugar. Flavor’s about the same. Fine light carbonation. Nice brew. Session beer, yet satisfying.

Bullit (3284) - Burgos, SPAIN - DEC 22, 2009
Cask @ Bon Accord. Clear amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of biscuit malts. Flavour is fruity, sour, malty. Not much to it.

maeib (6632) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - DEC 17, 2009
Cask conditioned handpump Earls Barton WMC. An amber coloured beer with a white head and lacing. The aroma is toffee and yeasty as you’d expect from Caledonian. Some cakey fruity notes too. A touch of diacetyl in the mouth but the fruitiness is not bad.
