This malty brew was special released to mark the centenary of the First World War and was designed specifically to mimic popular styles at the war's outbreak. Whether it appeals to modern palates is debatable. The name itself is of great significance and if anyone is interested they can read more here. It has strong caramel flavors and perhaps a hint of molasses to go along with the mild vanilla aftertaste. The head is very reasonable when poured, strong and white. To my mind this outperforms the vast majority of Caledonian's other beers and how it was a temporary brew is beyond me. These days you can find bottles at discount stores for as little as a pound. My advice, stock up! A strong 7/10 and a commitment to purchase more as soon as I can find it.
