Deep roasted malt from a clever blend of malts, hints of caramel, liquorice & raisin spice. A toasty dryness from pinhead oats with a subtle finish.

A really smooth looking black beer. Full flavoured beer with a malty taste and elements of coffee and chocolate in the background.

Cask @ Frank Hornby, Maghull. Dark red with a thin head. Has a fair nose, but a little soapy in taste, but what roasted malts that are there do give it flavour.

Spoons Fest. Clear and very dark brown - red beer. Light semi soft palate, semi dry as well. Soft dark malt with an undertone of banana, bubblegum and a little peach. Finishes light and dry and minerally. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Not bad if a tad dry.

Cask at the Prince of Wales, Aberdeen. It pours very dark brown, with ruby highlights and thin beige head. The nose is roasted malt, liquorice and some sulphur. The taste is roasted malt, charcoal, meat, liquorice, a touch of tangy dark fruit and some wood, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not a bad brew from Caledonian.

On tap @ the Sir Walter Scott at Edinburgh Airport. Pours like a coffee with a hint of red. Cloudy with a decent head. The nose initially has a hint of rotten eggs, then dry malt or biscuits. The taste is therefore a bit of a revelation - lovely chocolate digestive biscuits. The palate is medium to full bodied, big and creamy in texture and relatively clean on the end. After a poor start, this was a surprisingly good beer.

Cask @ JDW Inverness
Appearance Black with ruby light edges, thin white head.
Aroma Butter popcorn malt, chocolate, sweet roasted malts - light aroma for a stout.
Taste Chocloate, sweet dark caramel malts, light roast, bit of burnt crust, bit of Caley popcorn malt showing through. Quite bland for a stout but flavour reasonably good.
Palate Soft carb, thin body. Finish - sweet dark malt, some lingering burnt roast bitterness and slightly metallic.
Overall For a stout (at this abv) this was quite bland. Perhaps it’s more like a bitter-porter hybird, but not a great example of an oatmeal stout. I would say, though, it is better than average and one of the better Caledonian beers.
