Mild spice caramel aroma. Clear dark amber with an off-white head.Crisp apple-like taste with a mild bitterness. Caramel malts add to the smoothness. Finishes a bit sour but still clean to the finish.

Aroma seems overly burnt to me with caramel, roasted nuts. Medium bodied with roasted malt character. Finish is slightly bitter with burnt malt notes. Mediocre.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 flying_pig (344) - SCOTLAND - MAR 8, 2012
Bottle (330ml from Peckhams, Glasgow):
Caramel and toffee on the nose with some muted rich malts and very faint alcohol. It seems a lot darker and richer than I was expecting but is a good smelling beer with touches of sugar as well.
Dark orange to amber colour with a foamy white head that is about four centimetres tall and stays for about a minute before beginning to fade.
Rich malts and toffee to begin with along with a touch of caramel; again this beer is richer and darker than average. It is quite sweet with a lot of different malt flavours fighting to be noticed and and a background malty bitterness, albeit a mild one.
Medium bodied and very sweet with a mildly bitter finish and good carbonation levels.
A good beer all round here, quite sweet and rich in taste with a much darker flavour than I had anticipated. Very drinkable and a beer that I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for in the future; grab a bottle if you spot it anywhere, you won’t regret it.

The beer looks and smells better than it tastes. The malts are present to give it some solid body, but the flavor is simply off.

A drinkable beer, but nothing exciting. It has a hoppy/citrusy hit in the front sip, but then mellows out to a smooth malt flavor. It’s more on the hops side of flavors. So we wouldn’t get it again.

Draught at BeerBier, Bp.
Clear amber colour with a medium sized, fizzy off-white head.
The tasteing starts sharp followed by a caramel malt based aroma escorted by citrusses and herbs, mouthfeel’s slick and a bit light.
It finishes dry and refreshing with citrusses, some nuts and spices, which leaves a tart aftertaste behind.
Balanced and just moderate sweet, good one.

12oz bottle.
Pours a medium amber with a light amber head.
Smells slightly fruity, and of yeast with some caramel.
Tastes round, shifting between bitter and slightly sweet. Not a sharp bitter though, just kind of pungent -- like almond bitter. Not particularly pleasant, but not terrible. Pleasant mouthfeel.

Medium copper color with tannish head that lasted throughout the glass. Smell is extremely light with maybe a hint of malt present. Taste is caramel and malt, but neither is very strong.
