bottle at home ... dark amber ... big bubbly white head ... over fizzy ...light fruityness ... sweet fruity toffee malts ... little metalicness ... ok but not exciting

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of alcohol and light notes of honey. The flavor is slightly acidic malty with primary notes of caramel, but also lighter notes of fruit and alcohol.

Sweet cereal biscuit malt. Notes of fruit, nuts and cardboard. Not bitter. Low carbonated. Hazy orange body.

Bottle. Amber with a small head. Aromas are sweet biscuit malts with crisp citrus, especially grapefruit. Some strange acidity. Flavours are sweet grain and citrus with a misplaced acidity on the finish. Still decent despite being a bit odd.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a slightly hazy amber golden with a rough, off-white head. Oxidized aroma of sherry and overripe fruit. Medium body, the mouthfeel is soft and carbonation very low. Caramel and overripe fruit. Almost no bitterness. Nice. 160408

Clear amber, short head, major notes of ripe fruit, malt, minor notes of yeast. Mainly sweet, litte bitter, warety aftertaste.

Gold. I get a little caramel in the aroma with some cardboard and metal to the forefront. Sweet, dusty, nutty taste, quite pleasing, despite the fizz. Slight bitterness. As it says on the label, ’Blar Allt a Bhain-Chniuc’, though I’m none the wiser.
