3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A red beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is of slightly sour malt (brewing cereal?). The flavor though is sweet with primary notes of caramel. An OK beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with a creamy, off-white head. Malty, roasted nose. Full-bodied with lots of roasted malt, some caramel and a bitter finish. Quite some alcohol also. Slightly disappointing. Thanks to Kasper for bringing this home from Scotland. 300406

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber to hazzlenut brown with a lacing off-white head. Mild spiced and solid roasted malty aroma.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 27, 2007 Bottle Sainsburys. Ruby beer with dark choc malts and dark fruit. Dark syrup and molasses/treacle/sweetness throughout especially on palate with some hop on the end. Bit sickly for me.2.9/5.0
Re-rate. Hot alcohol and malt aroma. Malt has a bit of coffee, malt loaf. Fairly simple, very malty beer, that has good smoothness and some spicy dryness too. Some more coffee and raisin in mouth. I rather like the dry malt, raisin, hop finish.
