Cask @ Southern, Edinburgh 191212
Amber, clear, thin white head
Aroma of caramel malts, creamy soft toffee malts
Taste of caramel toffee malts, cereal malts, touch of honey like on Sugar Puffs, hint of puffed candy, more malty than hoppy
Palate - thinnish body, oily texture. Fairly sweet palate. Finish as main flavour, a little dry. Tail of toasted caramel.
Overall - Quite a sweet bitter, nice malts in here (there are 5 in here). Certainly would have this again if I saw it
