Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert made from raspberries, honey, toasted oats and cream. We love it. So we made an oatmeal pale ale and smashed it with
enough local berries to feed a clan of hungry Highlanders.

Can from Brew Dog online shop. Malty aroma, raspberry, light caramel. Tastes the same as aroma, light sour notes, light to medium bitter. Medium body, malty raspberry bitter finish. Raspberry is not too dominant, good.

Boks fra Brewdog Tower Hill. Delt med Rune på tog mellom London & Swansea. Varm gyldenrødbrun. Uklar. Middels høyt skum som daler raskt. God bringebæraroma. Smaken søte bær hvor bringebær dominerer. Lett tørr avslutning. Ble veldig søt.
