On tap at the Addison Saucer...$14! And it’s not a pint!! Smal tan head over a hazy amber brown body. Brown sugar, figs, toffee, vinous. Raisins, treacle, chai tea, plum. Some very light oak tannins in the finish. Oak, brown sugar, raisins, vinous, tons of dark fruit, cherry, slightest hint of smoke. Brandy. Creamy carbonation. Really pretty tasty, and a lot better than the regular, but at $14 I think I’ll pass on a second glass...

On tap at flying saucer. Pours a cloudy dark amber with a medium off white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is a a sweet raisin malt and fruity red wine. Medium mouthfeel with a rich malt with the wine coming through and lingering in the finish. Hides the alcohol well making it easy to drink. A very impressive scotch ale from Real Ale.
