An unpleasant funk coming off of this beer. The flavor is much better, with a malt-forward Scotch ale ending with a half-funky, half-butterscotch, refined finish. The smell never quite disappeared though, and inevitably colors the impression.

Smells like caramel hard candies. Caramel and buttery flavors. Pretty good.

Inoffensive considering the bottle is so old. Basically an ok porter watered down with the pilsner.

To be fair, this jug was probably two years old. It had to be drunk. That said, it was surprisingly inoffensive; a porter on the sour, English side. A touch of roast on top. Rather than getting any pilsner character, it just seemed thinned out a little.

Surprisngly good. I've never thought it would work flavor wise but it does!
