3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear, dark amber beer. Malt and strong caramel in the aroma. Taste is also a malt/caramel mix and a toasty edge, but not as strong as I expected from the flavour. It’s almost refreshing though a touch "thin" for want of a better word. Quite drinkable though.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a light but dark red body, little to no head.... Quite a burnt/roasted aroma, a fairly clean taste with a very light malt back tongue leading on to a subtle bitter aftertaste. Quite a safe sessionable drink with a bit more body than the California Common. Cheers!

On tap at the Halfway House. Deep brown, clear. Modest head. Malty aroma. Sweetness, followed by fruity malt and then roastrd coffee. Bitterness at end perfect. Stonking pint for a rainy May Edinburgh day
