Thuis uit een flesje. Veel vlokken bij het uitschenken, zakt gelukkig wel. Bruine kleur, matig schuim. Goede smaak, niet uitgesproken zoet en bitter, wel zwaar in alcoholsmaak voor de 6,8%.

330 ml. bottle. BBF 11 SEP 2019. Dark brown amber. Nose is very NL old school, yeasty & overripe fruit, liquorice, dried prunes, figs, very NL style fermenting fruit. Taste is furniture, oak, overripe figs, plastic, dash glue, yeast, old school NL, too much of those things, dried fruit, liquorice, herbal,… Body is plastic, glue, liquorice,… I know that this is a Scottish Ale but to me this is all old school NL Belgian Strong Ale taste-wise. Feels like way more than 6.8 % ABV almost quad-like, good for what it is or rather for an NL / BE old school beer and not a wee heavy but whatever.
