Bottle at home in London - thanks to a colleague for gifting me this one! Pours a rather fetching clear russet with a creamy, light tan foam head. Rich malty aroma, with perhaps hints of oxidation, some ripe fruits, berries, suggestions of caramel. Light to medium sweet flavor, with well toasted malts, grainy bread, bitter earth and leaves, impressions of cocoa, some leathery berries. Light bodied with average carbonation. Reasonably well balanced on the finish, with more toasted grains and leaves, dried fruits, berries. A very decent bitter.

Cask at The Cairngorm Hotel. Clear ruby body with a thin off-white head. Light lacing. Aroma of toast and charred wood. Flavour of chocolate, toffee, ash, grass and caramel. Medium body with a slick, oily mouthfeel. Well balanced and ashy. I prefer Wildcat.

Bottle at Inverness airport. It pours clear deep brown with a thick beige head. The nose is earthy, wood, brown bread, cereal and light toffee/fudge. The taste is bitter-sweet, brown bread, toffee, Scottish tablet, wood, leather, light spice and earth with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate. Solid malty action.
