Burns inspired smoked ale. An amber, sweet ale with a smokey flavour made from German and Czech hops.

a reference to the brave horse in the poem Tam O’Shanter who helps a drunk Tam to escape a group of witches but has her tail pulled off in the process.

Fra fat på Sheffield Tap 15 Feb 16. Delt med Rune. Gyldenbrun. Nesten ikke skum. Heftig baconaroma. Smaken torv. Gjennomført. Uvariert.

Cask ale, half-pint, shared with Finn while waiting for a train at Sheffield Tap. Creamy white head to a hazy amber coloured body. Spotty lacing. Smoked smell with a touch of meat. Meat smoked taste offset by dark fruits. Malt-fruity endnotes, mid-sweet. Medium bodied. Pleasing to a certain extent (Sheffield 15.02.2016).

On keg at Holyrood 9A. Appearance - a lovely amber to red. A decent thin lacy head. Nose - distinct but restrained Islay whisky note. Biscuits and toffee in the background. Taste - slightly overpowering smoking peat. Still toffee and sone sweetness in the background. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a finish that is interesting but that doesn’t completely refresh. Overall - needs more malt structure to take on the smoke.
