My last pint of this European adventure... Heathrow, terminal 5 with a big plate of haggis. Amber coloured beer with a creamy white head. Aroma is quite fresh. Lightly fruity with soft berrys over a light crackery maltiness. Lightly crackery with a soft herbal woodiness. Lean to moderate bitterness with a lovely lingering fruitiness. A bit of orange peel. Really, quite tasty.
