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.

500ml bottle. Pours black i guess, small foamy tan head. Light on the palette with very light dark malt, cola, distant lactic notes and some interesting, light smoky woody tobacco notes emerging alongside a dry finish. Carbonation seems a little firmer than necessary though not off-putting. Nice, light milk stout.

Vom Fass im Winking Owl Aviemore 2017-09 getrunken. Trotz des leichten Körpers hat dieses Stout feine Schokolade und Kaffeearomen. Ein echt süffiges Bier.

Draft at the Loch Ness Lodge Hotel bar. Nose is light roasty coffee, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. Extremely dark brown with a big, heavy lacing, tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter, with lots of chocolate from the fairly viscous body of an ale which is only 4.4% ABV.

Musta olut kohtalaisella, kivasti pitsiä jättävällä beigellä vaahdolla. Tuoksu herkullisen kermainen, maitokahvinen, paahteinen sekä maitosuklainen. Maku jatkaa samalla linjalla ollen pehmeän kermainen, maitokahvinen, paahteinen ja suklainen sekä jälkimaultaan vielä paahteisuus korostuen. Keskitäyteläinen suutuntuma ja todellinen jymy-yllätys prosentteihin nähden! Loisto-ostos!
