440ml can of Tennents Velvet with a nitro-widget Poured copper with a half-inch of creamy cream head; strong malty aroma; rather thin with a weak malty flavour; some light hops to finish. Drinkable, but there’s not a lot more to say about it.

Can from some supermarket in Edinburgh. A layer of beige bubbles over a brilliant, dark copper colored body. Dry, faint malty aroma. Fruit and metal notes. Dryish-sweet malt flavor. Quite sugary with some toasted notes and a hint of fruit. Low on the hops. Light-bodied. Sugary malt finish. Drinkable, but certainly not exciting.

Malty sweetish aroma. Deep amber with a large frothy head. Flavour is sweetish malty, not much hops in this one. Palate is tingly bitter with sweet notes. Finishes with a very slight alcohol tang. Slightly overcarbonated. About average bitter.

500mL can from Secret Santa lackenhauser, poured into an imperial pint glass. Pours a clear deep amber with a solid off-white head that showed very good retention and lacing. Smell is pretty tame with some light roasted malts and a hints of caramel sweetness. The taste follows the aroma but with a dominant sweet malt base with a slightly dry and toasty finish. The mouthfeel is pretty light, almost watery, with strong carbonation. Not much to it, but still pretty drinkable.
