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.

Bottle. Hazy brick red body with massive yeast chunks floating beneath a medium pink head. Faint lacing. Aroma of strawberry syrup, tablet and cranberry. Flavour of tart raspberries and a hint of honey. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. An interesting beer, but itβs one of the ugliest Iβve ever seen - the floaters look like pieces of crushed piece of chalk. The other reviews are more positive so I will try to seek it out again.

Bottle as "Cranachan" big thanks to Dave! It pours cloudy orange with medium white head. The nose is soft, sweet, fresh raspberry, jammy action, toasted oats, raspberry yoghurt and earth. The taste is smooth, toasty, fresh raspberry, toasted oats, some creaminess, fruity tang, Victoria Sponge and porridge & jam with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Definite Cranachan character! Well realised.
