A dark reddish brown beer, a head is medium and light beige. Aroma has caramle, but also some roastiness and herbal bitterness are balancing. Taste has the same caramel, roastiness and herbs. Medium bodied. Pretty nice beer.

Keg at the Glyde Inn, Anhagassan, 23/09/18. Reddish amber with a well presented lasting egg shell white head. Nose carries a light fruit tang, grains, biscuit, caramel. Taste comprises biscuit, brown bread, lightly soured red berries, straw, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable for the style ... not sure the slightly soured edge is intentional but meant it didn't come over too bland.
