Inspired by our forefathers, this award winning ale imparts chocolate notes with just the right amount of hops.
Oh we, the Sons of Hector
Who fought the barren seas
Who arrived here on these foreign shores
Pushed down on bended knees
Too few of us did leave Lochbroom
And fewer still who landed
Not a provision shared amongst us
In a new world were we stranded
This legacy we leave to you
Our banner yours to carry
The fighting spirit of the Highlands
And an ale for making merry.

Keg at Still well. It pours darkest brown with a tiny beige head. The nose is sweet, molasses, treacle, chocolate fudge and earthy roast. The is bitter-sweet, charred woody, oily, earthy, caramel, earthy roast, coffee, burnt treacle and a touch of pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good balance. Solid brown ale.
