Rich, smooth and classy; just like Robert Burns. The bittersweet blend of flavours is derived from the crystal, black and pale ale malts, and fresh, aromatic hops. Dark amber in colour and full-bodied, this is just the sort of ale Burns would have savoured during his time as an officer of the Excise.

Dry-ish and heavily toasted malt character with present notes of caramel, slightly ashy and nutty hints; subtle fruity flavours towards the bitter and delicately sweet finish.
