1.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
0.5l can from Centra, Colosseum shared with InBreak and ClubGonzo. Pours a clear nuttybrown body with a nice big lacing bubbly just off-white head. Aroma is strong caramel, some earth and tones of butter. Not to bad. It has a thin and watery mouthfeel with a average to soft carbonation level. Flavors are almost a bit off. Sour tones mixed with some metallic and papery caramel. This was not too good.
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Can, from Centra Colosseum, Oslo. Dark amber body, medium off-white creamy head. Nose is sour hibiscus-like notes, pale malts and hints of caramel and ale yeast. A bit strange. Taste takes it all down: INTENSE canned food metallic tones; as if drinking straight from an opened can of vegetables or something. Gross! :-( Hints of caramel and yeast in the back, which does nothing to reduce the canned metallic horror of this beer. Maybe I got a bad batch or something, but this was really horrible.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can. Pours a clear amber body and a full white head with good retention. Aroma is full of rich fruits, some alcohol, hoppy, caramel notes, spicy, pineapple, some sulphurous notes, boiled sweets. Sweet, followed by some bitterness towards the finish. Dry finish. Warming. Definitely in the Scottish style. Actually pretty nice, I was pleasantly surprised at this. Far better than its rival, canned Bass.
