Pours a slightly cloudy light amber color with a smallish white head that dissipates quickly but covers the glass in a fair amount of sticky lace. Smells malty bready with a hint of butterscotch and nail polish. Sweet dark pitted fruit and a hint of toffee round out the nose quite well. Taste is sweet and malty with a bit of bread and toffee up front. Lots of butterscotch coated berries and cherries in here. Slightly earthy hop barely cuts through malty sweetness. Surprising fullness of body for such a small abv. Moderate level of carbonation and a sweet almost oily mouthfeel. Not to shabby of a beer, if it were a bit easier to obtain I might have one periodically.

jamestulloch (48) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - NOV 23, 2011
Aroma: Yeasty, bready smell dampened by the fluffy head.

Appearance: Clear golden body with huge foamy white head. Medium carbonation, excellent lacing.

Taste: Clean and hoppy, though a little too nutty for my liking.

Palate: Medium mouthfeel. Nice bitter finish.

Overall: A decent beer, though not one I would choose to drink more than one of in a sitting, due to the nutty flavour.
