A Scottish stout with a wonderful rich dark colour. A smooth full bodied beer with subtle bitterness giving way to late sweetness and underlying roast barley hints.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours near black with small beige to tanned head. Aroma is quite roasty with notes of dark dried fruits. Taste of roasted malts and liquorice with a lactose sweetness that's not overdone. Semi-drying and slick medium body. Good.
