Traditional Scottish stout with a creamy, toasted oatmeal flavour. Lightly hopped with a complex roast malt aroma and a smooth silky aftertaste. As dark, mysterious & interesting as the glen it’s named after. Arguably better than the best Guiness!!!

Cask @ JDW Elgin [190313]
Black, ruby edges in glass, thin tan head
Aroma of sweet dark malts, plain chocolate, soft coffee, quite a lot of cocoa
Taste- Dark roased malt, dark sugars, odd hint of rubber, then the mouthfeel collapses in the middle, watery, bland, vegetal notes, hints of tcp, hints of dirt, poor flavour - an utter total mess
Palate - Far too thin for a stout, some smoothness initially but then a watery middle with no body. Finish is rapid and dull
Overall - The aroma was pretty good, but the taste was very poor and the body was watery. With rich ingredients as used make a stout, it should be a highlight beer from the brewery - but I have no idea how TSA could mess this up so badly. I’m not wasting my money on beer from this lousy brewery in the future......

Cask @ Ayrshire Real Ale Festival 09. Black colour, no head. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Flavour of roasted malts, coffee. No hops. Not too good.
Cask @ Esquire House, JDW. In a lot better condition here. Dark roasted, medium bodied and a slight salami smokeyness. Lovely. + .6

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars’ Scottish beer festival, Bristol 02/09/09. Near black with a slight tan head. Roasted malt and caramel aroma. Flavour had more roastiness, some milky oats and a light sourness. A bit thin for a stout but drinkable enough.

Cask, half by air compressor dispense. Light brownish head over a very dark coloured body. Plain dark malty aroma. Flavour has got roasted grain and oatmeal up front, followed by hints of liquorice and flashes of dark fruits. Ends with bitter coffee notes. A little watery in the mouth. After this one we finished our drinking session at the fantastic Bow Bar with the delicious BrewDog Punk IPA, which has not got a separate cask entry [Edinburgh 13.11.2008].

Cask Conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London, 4.5% ABV
The color is almost black. Mild aroma of roasted malt and cardboard. Soft mouthfeel (also because of the lack of carbonation), some roasted malt and chocolate flavor, not aggressive, with a hint of liquorice, yeast and cardboard. Not bad.
