"The rich and malty character of our Outta Kilter Scotch Style Red Ale is masterfully complimented by barrel aging, as the ’angel’s share’ slowly evaporates resulting in a wonderful concentrating of flavors. The full flavor experience goes one step further with the vanillin undertones from the oak wood of the barrel, adding a savory, satisfying depth of flavor, ultimately creating a wonderful sensory experience!

Draught @ Beer Temple. Clear red color. Dense off white head with a thin layer retention and good lacing. Aroma's: malty sweet, red fruit, light vanilla. Retronasal too it's sweet, red fruit, with soft whiskey, wood/tannines, light vanilla. Flavor is above moderate sweet with a hint of bitter. Alcoholfeel is not too strong, but still warming. Above medium bodied. Long finish with wood/tannines and light bitterness. A big improvement from the basebeer.

Már a kibontás pillanatában whiskey-s illatokkal árasztja el a helyiséget. Kitöltés után vörösesbarna színnel veszi birtokba a poharat, habot viszon szinte egyáltalán nem produkál. Illata kissé dohos és intenzíven whiskey-s, cseresznyés-szilvás és vaníliás felhangokkal. Édeskés, vaníliás, cseresznyés, malátás ízvilág, egy enyhén füstös, intenzíven whiskey-s, hordós burokba csomagolva. Közepesen testes, de rendkívül könnyedén iható. A magas alkoholtartalmat jól elrelytették. Enyhén szénsavas, a keserűje összetett, a komló kissé háttérbe szorul, a hordó fanyar keserűje viszi a prímet. Iszonyúan finom, nagyon jól kiegyensúlyozott sör.

Pours deep red colour, little head, some residue. Very rich, caramel aroma. Intense vanilla and whisky notes. Some dried plums, raisins and berries. Rich mouthfeel, big body. Very sweet flavour, enormously intense caramel, rich and a lot of vanilla and cask flavours. Long rich finish, in which the bourbon barrel comes out fully.

Keg at Craft Holborn. It pours clear dark amber with a thick yellow - beige head. The aroma is rich, sweet, vanilla custard, creamy coconut, toffee, brown bread and fruit cake. The taste is pretty damn sweet upfront, vanilla, creamy, coconut, custard, toffee, alcohol warmth, fruit cake and wood with a dry, boozy finish. Medium - full body and moderate carbonation. A bit sweet and boozy, but fun in small doses.
