The taste is slick, oily ,resinous, some grassy bitterness, woody, sappy, digestive biscuits, brown bread, orange marmalade, grapefruit and some peppery spice with a drying, bitter woody linger. Medium body and soft carbonation. I actually rather liked it. Good old-school Scottish hoppy strong ale.
