Bullit (1300), Glasgow, Scotland Sep 17, 2009 Bottle, Morrisons. Copper colour, off-white head. Nose of caramel. Flavour of caramel malts, hops, nuts. sound67 (157), Offenbach, Germany Sep 8, 2009 50cl bottlle. Copper-colored. Head is almost non-existent. Aroma of fruit and malt, taste of caramel and hops, smoothly bitter finish, with banana-bread aftertaste. Not as complex as other Theakston brews, but, thankfully, not as weird either (read my review of their "Grouse Beater"!). Ok. maltdog (509), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Bronze with wispy, khaki cirrus foam. Unusual array of aromas- dust, plum and caramel, hand lotion, charred meat. Initially seems lightly sweet, but that yields to a dry, "burnt flour" flavor. Light creamy palate. Tart and banana bread aftertaste. Nothing wrong with it except for being numbingly boring. Borup (1345), Albertslund, Denmark Jun 22, 2009 Bottle. Amber colour with a nice medium head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, hops, malt and caramel. saxo (3511), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Apr 19, 2009 Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are malt, caramel, hops and some nuts. maeib (4677), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Apr 3, 2009 Bottled An amber coloured headless beer. Fruit, nuts and cardboard on the nose. Raisins, nuts and malt in the mouth. Swigs vary between poor and pretty decent. Enigmatic.
wyzzywyz22 (754), Wirral, Merseyside, England Dec 15, 2008 Bottle at Ellos housewarming. Reddy brown colour. Malty aroma and flavour. Yawn.

Smell is hoppy and bitter, taste is similar but with a slightly weak watery finish. Fairly average.
