3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
[cask at the Blue Blazer, Edinburgh] Coppery brown beer with a small white head, which reduces pretty quickly to a lacing. The aroma is earthy malt, nutty, and slightly bready. Darker, bread-crust-like flavours at first, before the softer, fruitier edges of the malt come out. Decent session beer [18012013]
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask by handpump at Halfway House, Edinburgh (2 Feb 12) - lightly hopped, clear amber ale with small off white head, carbonation quite high, fruity taste, very smooth
2.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Possibly a bad pint, possibly too early in its run. Not too cold and not any distinctive head (even for Stewarts) with a pungent throat kicking nose. This is quickly eased by a thick amber bitter wedge and salty, but flat linger. Improved a little through the pint but not enough to recommend for more than the tick.
