The original ale first brewed in 1965 and now sold all over the world. Perhaps the most distinctive Scottish ale on the market and with its rich dark oakiness, this is a serious winter ale.

Color marrón rojizo muy oscuro, en apariencia casi negro, espuma blanco hueso de retención media-alta. Aroma intenso a malta caramelizada, pasas, ciruelas, higos maduros, caramelo, pan de centeno, melaza, arrope, al adquirir temperatura se sienten notas de vainilla. En boca es sedosa, cálida, redonda, de buena complejidad. Posee de entrada un dulzor medio muy maltoso con notas de frutos secos y fruta pasificada, perfectamente equilibrado con un final moderadamente amargo con notas herbales, terrosas y amaderadas. Un trago muy alegante y agradable.

Creamy off white head stayed a mahogany coloured body. Treacle, molasses & malt aroma. Medium to full bodied, greasy, smooth & sticky body. Berries, molasses, syrup, malt & liquorice tastes with a fruity finish. Good one

Bottle from Systembolaget. Dark amber/brown with a small head. Sweet and nicely malty with caramel, dried fruit and some chocolate. A nice body in this one.
