[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy red beer with a small orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries and alcohol. The flavor is sweet again with berries being most dominant, leading to a dry woody end. It has a good body.

(Bottle 50 cl) Comes as "Caledonian Edinburgh Tattoo Strong Ale". Dark amber with a reddish tint, very pretty. Clear and filtered with a small, creamy head. Sweetish with a lovely, full, malty body with notes of caramel and nuts. And as with most Scotch ales there isn’t much bitterness in this. Excellent. 190405

Red amber with a moderate head. The flavour has initial notes of licorice and then some sweetness, vanilla and caramel. The bitterness is moderate and the finish is short. Not a beer that leaves a great impression...

Bottle. Reddish-brown colour. Sweet caramel aroma with toasty malt and some alcohol. Flavour is sweet and malty, some fruitiness, bit spiced. Good brew.
