Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised.
A full-bodied and malty ale with a rounded, smooth fruit palate and a tight, creamy head that laces all the way down the glass. Rich in colour with a smooth, creamy texture and a distinctively strong flavour.

12oz bottle. Pours a burnt amber with a long lasting creamy off white head. Nose is sweet malts with a bit of roast and a touch of smoke with some underlying fruitiness. Nice smelling scottish ale (btw if the bottle says its a scottish ale I have to question why its considered a ESB). Very similar to the Belhaven Scottish ale but not as dark and there is more fruit. The strong scottish malt flavor is there and definitely in the aftertaste but its not as bitter as the Scottish Ale either. Very good session scottish ale. Like this alot.

Amber colour, medium off-white head. Aroma is of slightly roasted malts and bread. Flavour has some roasteld malts, and some grassy and flowery hops. Nice bitterness. Very enjoyable and drinkable.

This beer pours a medium amber with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet and almost fruity. The flavors are the same. Very unique for an esb. I like this one. Not that bad but not really the right flavor for an esb. Cheers!

Poured a clear dark brown with bubbly white head. Very interesting mix of peat and caramel with a tad bit of earthy smooth hops at the end. From my experiences, a different take than most bitters. Very very good.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a slowly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is mild breadish malt with a note of caramel. Flavour follows this closely with a light bitterness and mild grassy note. Goes into a light bitterness with mild citrus notes.

red amber with a perfect vanilla head that quickly dissipates. full aroma of fruit as is the taste not overly hoppy even on the sweet side, great balance no after taste on the palate. Perhaps not as full bodied as some other beers yet tasty.Quality brew!
