On cask at Cloisters. Not an amber ale. Pours a golden colour with a fair white head. Aroma is predominantly caramel with barley and Weetabix maltiness. Tastes malty with Weetabix, rolled oats, light wheat and some smoky tar notes. Moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. OK.

Cask-conditioned at the Halfway House, Edinburgh 7/06/2011. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish, fruity aroma with a touch of leafy hop. Flavour had some caramel, hedgerow fruits and biscuity malts, leading to a bitter finish. Fine.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It pours a clear, golden body with a white head. The aroma has a pleasant hoppyness, but also a buttery caramel touch. It’s dominated by the hops in the mouth, pleasant bitterness and a decent hop flavor, but I would like it less buttery. Medium body, nice carbonation. Overall, too much butterscotch, but a quite pleasant one. 110318

Bottle @ Norway/Denmark Tasting, Ulfborg. Pours amber golden with a small off white bubbly head. Nose is sweet. Toffee, butter and fruit. A bit ashy flavor with a note of vegetables and corn. Dry and short end.
