2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
A Mes rate:
Bottle at RBESG. Amazed there was anything of this left after it had finished spewing all over the room. Clearly infected and heavily over carbed. Unpleasant malt with a little spruce and heather that just about saves it from being dire.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled. A nut brown coloured beer with an off-white wisp of head. A sweet aroma with fruit and caramel. Thin in the mouth. Malty and fruity. Like a weak autumnal ale.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
568ml bottle (ChrisO’s pre-GBBF2011 "Donkey Dork Lord" shindig)
Big mashy aroma. Decent brown, nice head. Sweet and malty body. Has a full palate. Simple, and playing on the scottish 80/- stereotype, but despite being simple it’s not boring. Standing out above the previous 2 boring (M&S branded) bitters by looking better, being more succulent in the mouth, and having plenty of tangy malts in the finish.

ChrisOs ’Donkey Dork Lord’ Pre-GBBF Tasting. Clear amber beer. Small off white head. Light dry palate. Ok minerally malt - a bit lagerish. Not much hop here. Boring!
