Bottle from Aldi Inverurie. It pours clear rich golden - amber with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet, honeyed grain, cereal, brioche, dried fruits, golden sultana, fruit cake, porridge with whisky, some apple and pear. The taste is bitter - sweet, slick, oily, pretty fruity, honeyed grains, apple, pear, melon, dried fruits, boozy vibes, hint of permanent marker pen, nip of spice, earth, damp wood and tannin with a dry finish. Medium+ body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. As it warmed it came across harsher and boozier. Fair.

Panda at home things to Shig, 29/09/20. Golden to light copper pour with a white cap. Nose is smoked malts, grains, fruit cake, peaty notes. Taste comprises peated malts, fruit esters, biscuit, grains, light spice, caramel. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. Decent ... plenty of character in this one with the whisky cask.

26/9/2020. Bottle shared with / courtesy of SHIG. Cheers! Pours clear golden with a small bubbly/frothy off-white head. Aroma is woody, peaty, sweet malts, whisky and touch of smoke. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, slight watery texture, average carbonation. Sweet finish. Lacked body, otherwise good.

Shared 330 ml bottle, 8% ABV. Deep golden colour. Strange aroma, fusel notes, hints of vanilla and oak. Flavour of peated whisky and smoke, mid between dry and sweet. Drinkable, but did not blow my socks off.

Fra flaske på RBHD sommeravslutning på Tau, juni-17: klar gylden med kort skum. Alkohol, mild whiskey, rosiner, gule epler og pors i aromaen. Litt honning i tillegg i smaken. Mild bitterhet with a lingering afterburn.

330ml bottle, received as a gift - Clear gold body, thin white head. Nose is smokey whiskey. very light, very floral. Taste is sweet, with grainy whisky notes, some fruit. Nothing offensive, but an interesting beer.
