Bottle from Lidl, Inverurie. It pours clear chestnut brown with a decent fluffy light tan head. The aroma is earthy, woody, nutty, some bread, ryvita, leather, cacao nibs and coffee grounds. The taste is drying, earthy bitterness, woody, nutty, cacao nibs, coffee grounds, burnt toast, ryvita, brown bread, leather and toasty spice with a drying, earthy finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. It's ok,.but not as drinkable as I expected. Quite toothy and earthy.
