Packed full of dark crystal malts this brew takes on a rich amber colour. A bouquet of caramel, amber malts and sweet berries give way to a palate of biscuit malts, woody & fruity hops that deliver a medium dry finish. This brew performs superbly cask conditioned as well as in bottle.
Malts: Ale Malt, Malted Wheat, Oats, Vienna Malt, Dark Crystal

Aroma of sweet malt and ripe fruits. Dark reddish amber color with an off-white head that tries to lace as it rapidly dissipates. Starts with a ripe stone fruit sweetness, goes a bit thin. The malt is a bit harsh after the initial sip (somewhat roasted). Wonderful hop to balance the malt. It is really very tasty.

Bottled at MacAle, Randers. Unclear, red beer with a small off-white head leaving nice lacings. Piney aroma with resin, fruit, peach and beefstock. Lovely hopped flavor with malt, peach and pine. Medium body and a nice fruity finish. Nice! Rating: 7-4-7-4-15-3.7. 061007
Bottle. It pours a clear, amber colored body and an off-white head. Fruityness, caramel and citrus notes on the nose, all feeling really fresh. The same goes for the flavor, which has some bitterness in addition to the fruityness, caramel and citrus. Medium body, smooth. Bitter, caramel finish. A nice tasting, easy drinking beer. 110311

500ml bottle. Best of the Williams beers I have had so far. Reddish brown colour with wonderful hop and fruit nose. Some chocolate, berries and darker juicy fruits. Good bitterness on the end. Some toffee aromas and flavours with just a touch of banana. Almost too many flavours to pick out, but I was extremely impressed with this.

Bottled. Deep amber, firm head. Aroma of peach and orange. Fairly sweet, well hopped with rather soft mouthfeel and medium body. The caramelly malt flavours are overpowered by piney, orangey hops. Lingering bitter finish. Good, hop dominated stuff - very un-Scottish.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A hazy red beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is hoppy and sweet malty. The flavor is sweet - a little too sweet for my liking - combined with lovely hoppy notes and a dry hoppy end.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF, 2004] A brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet roasted with notes of caramel in the beginning and middle, to be taken over by notes of yeast in the end.
