Seven varieties of malt combine to create complex flavors of candied figs, raisin and toffee with a hint of smoke. So intensely flavorful, it’ll inflate your bagpipes with every swig.

Clear deep ruby, creamy beige head. The aroma is really big dark dark crystal, dark fruit - plums, traces of spicy hops. Big malty taste - quite sweet but successfully kept away from being, cloying, fruity, with a humble grassy kettle hop bitterness. A nice malț bomb, if you like these.
