Can shared at work. Pours copper with an off-white head. Nose and taste are simple, but pretty tasty and well rounded sweet malts: dried fruits, grains. Long sweet finish, Light to medium body, drinks below the ABV.

Can, thanks again to Cunningham. Amber with a small beige head. Aroma of layered toffee, prunes, some smoke and spices. Lighter bodied than expected and the peat comes though more clearly even though it's gentle. It may be ahistorical but it's nice (the obverse of the event I guess). Moderately sweet and more bready than suggested by the aroma with some dried fruit and spices before a gently bitter finish.

Amber, hazy with a medium off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, wooden barrels with some bread sense. Sweet with a sweet malt and caramel end.

Stilen er en us abnormitet, i motsetning til scottish ale, som kan være nydelig. Men lite røyk, og med enslags nedtonet tung malt-kornpreg som ødelegger inntrykket av et ypperlig malt-forward øl. Og lindisfarne er SÅ lenge siden. Kan vi ikke snart glemme?

Sampled from can @ RBBWG 2018, hosted by Beerlovers Bar, Antwerp. Clear amber color, small to average sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, raisins. Taste malts, raisins, lightly brown malts, light bitterness in the distance. Hmm ok.
