Had this on Burn’s Night along with haggis, tatties and neaps along with a double Glenmorangie. Deep chestnut with creamy head. Yeasty nose, some nice dark malts in mouth. Finish is quite soft with some tingly hops. Needs more body and backbone but drinkable enough. Re-rate at the same pub a year lager. Just too mcuh diacetyl on this, butter and caramel on aroma, drinkable enough in the middle, some hop and matl on finish. 2.6/5 Magicdave6 (5491), London, Greater London, England

However theres some cali hops playing with the spice from the haggis (as it must be drunk with haggis). imdownthepub (5141), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 28, 2006 Cask conditioned from a Wetherspoons. Dark reddish beer with little head. Cold and dull is the overall impression. The JDW serve destroyed any lingering flavour leaving a mish mash of a cerealy, vaguely hoppy bitter. chriso (4796), London, Greater London, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 18, 2006 Cask (handpump) at The Willow Walk (JDW), Victoria, 25 January 2006. Dark reddish brown colour. I presume they are aiming for a rich malty style but the cold serving temperature negated much of the aroma, leaving just a faint caramel character. Quite sweet flavour, with toffee accents. A light hop presence provides some balance. Pleasant enough but not too exciting.
