A malty flavoursome red ale with Admiral & Chinook hops combining beautifully with clear Loch Ness water & 'Nessie' - our very own yeast strain. Deep red in colour with toffee, vanilla and forrest berries aromas. Flavours of biscuit and caramel leading to a long bitter finish.

Bottle at the Pre-Zwanze tasting. Aroma is hedgerow berry, toffe, hint of brett / farmyard. Hazed caramel / red with a thin white head. REally dry palate . Hint of roast in the finish. Light metal Biscuit. Not sure if the light brett is intentional.

Bottle at the Pre-Zwanze tasting - London. Gusher! Pours light hazy amber with a fine cream head. Nose has some ripening berries. Light sweet flavor, light dry bread, maybe licorice, berries, faint leaves. Light bodied with average carbonation. Modest sweetness to finish, some bread, ripening fruits. Decent.

Bottle from Deeside Drink Emporium. It pours deep red with a small white head. The nose is red berry, toffee, earth and a hint of farmyard. The taste is red berry, faint hint of jam, decent bitterness, pithy lemon, light toffee and straw with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Not bad.
