...can. Aromas were slightly spicy, with mainly of sweet malt, with a hint of wheat, fruit and hops. Slightly roasted flavors hinting towards caramel, but not much. Metallic flavors on the finish, medium bodied, overall, not too bad.

500ml can from Tesco in St Andrews. Deep brown in body appearance under a fragile, patchy head. Plain smell of sweet malts. Malty character with roasted grain and a bite of dark fruits. Lively carbonated [10.11.2008].
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can (500ml). Poured burnt copper with a thick, frothy, off-white head which was mostly lasting. An odd yet intriguing aroma of smoked bacon and wood with strange dirty/earthy notes, toffee malts, caramel and a subtle fruitiness (blackberries?). Flavor was very poorly balanced with unpleasant metallic notes, a mild bitterness, sweet buttery malts, margarine (the cheap sort), odd dusty/dirty notes and a dry woody finish. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation, a dry/creamy mouthfeel and an average lasting finish.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
(can) Clear, amber colour with a thick beige foamy head. Sweet, slightly sugary malty nose with a tinge of caramel, lime and an almost ethereal spicy touch. Bitter flavour with a touch of sourness, light bodied with a light to medium carbonation. Unexciting minimal sugary malt profile with a tinge of caramel and very subtle fruity flavour; slim but nevertheless also a bit sticky and inharmonic finish with a moderate but not too aromatic bitter hoppy presence (27.X.08).

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can. I still get amazed about how many beers I have tasted before but not rated. This is one example. High flouffy but lasting white head. Clear dark brown body with a lot of bubbles. Aroma sweet caramel honey with a hint of nuts. Flavor very sugary and toffee dominated with little hops bitterness, low carbonation but a long caramel sweet aftertaste.
