Bottle at home. It pours darkest ruby with a small light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, toast, coffee, liquorice, pine, dark fruit, spice, hay and candy. The taste is bitter-sweet, rich roast, toasted brown bread, coffee grinds, pine, resin, light spice, dark fruit, jammy berry, liquorice, candy and light alcohol with a bitter, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Really rather flavoursome. Good depth and well balanced. Very impressive stuff.

50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - opaque black with a generous head. Nose - citrus and pine against a chocolate background. Taste - more citrus and pine, something medicinal like olbas oil, some earthiness in the background with crunchy honeycomb too. Palate - medium to full bodied, big challenging texture and a very drying finish. Overall - I’m not sure this has the underlying nuttiness I would expect from Scotch Ale, probably closer to stout. It’s also very complex but more complex than balanced - but regardless of that, it’s a good beer.

500ml bottle shared with jeevan. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Caramel and liquorice aromas, some chocolate and coffee, and a woody note, I’m guessing from the pine cones? Sweet taste and pleasant lingering light bitterness. Long finish. Good stuff.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Dark brown body with ruby highlights. Massive dome-shaped (if only it was cone-shaped...) beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma of pine, coffee and dark malts. Flavours of pine, milk chocolate, earth and tangy yeast. Light peppery finish. Full body with a thick, creamy mouthfeel. Soft carbonation prickle. A fantastic experimental beer that coats the mouth with a rich, woody flavour that lasts long after each taste. More subtle than I was expecting for the 7.4% ABV.
