3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Alla spina. Limpido color mogano con soffice schiuma beige chiaro mediamente persistente. Aroma fruttato e caramellato discretamente intenso; gusto dolce e piuttosto maltoso con note di toffee e frutti di bosco. Corpo medio, struttura oleosa ma non sciropposa, finale pulito con retrogusto sufficientemente persistente. Una pinta come dopocena è sempre gradita!

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Redish amber color with white foam head. Quite carbonated. Smells sweet caramel with some fruit. Taste is sweet caramel and lots of alcohol. Some bitterness, not much. (Velp, 201205)
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Donkerbruin, niet superveel kraag bij het inschenken maar blijft wel in een laagje op het bier liggen, mooi. Ruikt zoetig, caramel, koffie. Smaakt behoorlijk zoet, een beetje bitter maar. Wat caramelsmaak. Matige body. Dit is zo’n bier dat wel gemakkelijk wegdrinkt, maar het is niks aparts naar mijn bescheiden mening.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 330 ml. Pours dark brown with copper reflect. Nice medium white-beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma is overwhelmingly caramel. Taste is more complex though with malts and some vanilla. Taste is therefore sweet, but well balanced. Nice creamy texture. Refreshing. A good Scotch Ale, right on style.
Bouteille 330 ml. Brun foncé, reflets cuivrés. Beau collet blanc-beige. Beau lacing. Arôme principalement de carmel. Le goût est plus complexe, avec du malt et des notes de vanille. Le goût est donc sucré, quoique bien balancé. Bonne texture crémeuse. Rafraîchissante. Une bonne Scotch Ale, conforme au style.

#547
Schon ziemlich strange: Ein cooles Tartan-Label mit dem Schriftzug "Gordon Finest Scotch Highland Ale" und dann kommts aus Belgien...
Sieht im Glas recht ansprechend dunkelamber aus. In der Nase primär süßlich nach Dunkelmalz. Der Antrunk ist vollmundig und sehr rezent, leider aber auch ziemlich süß geraten. Auf Dauer ist es mir definitiv zu süß. Der Alkohol ist spürbar gegenwärtig, ohne alle anderen Nuancen totzuschlagen. Insgesamt ein befriedigend ohne große Highlights zu setzen.
Test vom 25.6.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,9,9,10,12,10 - 9,80

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark rich woody mahogany color with a thick white lacy lasting head. Smell of alcohol, malt, roasted caramel, brown sugar, whiskey (peat?). Sticky slightly prickly body. Smooth. Taste of ripe fruit, berries, caramel, malt, burnt. Dry finish. For 8% its very drinkable. its very good but has this lingering alcohol peat element.
