The taste of grain has always been a vital part of the Scottish brewing tradition. We took the convention one step further, milling fine porridge oats right here in the brewery.
The result is an ale with the flavour of gentle hops, a creamy head and just the right amount of bitterness.

Clear, golden-orange colored, small white head, not too lasting. Mostly malty aroma, biscuity, medium- sweet, moderate- hoppy earthy, floral and spicy notes, some grainy notes, dry finish. Medium to light bodied, soft carbonation, bit oily.

Bottle. Malty aroma with cake dough and butter. Toffee. Full bodied, malty. Just a bit of pear and peach sourness. Some sweetness and a hint of glue. Otas and raisin. Lovely beer, both complex and very drinkable. A very pleasant surprise.

500ml bottle: BBE Aug 2018. Poured into an Abbot Ale badged glass tankard at home on 20th Sep 2017. Slight haze to the golden body, white blanket of foaming bubbles on top. Not too sure what 'porridge oats' bring to the beer but I liked the brew. The aroma was fairly low key (might have over cooled the beer) with mild hints of malty molasses and floral notes. Taste was a nice blend of hop bitterness and malty/honey like semi-sweetness, the hops winning the battle. This was an easy drinking, refreshing beer with lively carbonation. Picked the bottle up from an Aldi in Edinburgh earlier in the year.

Clear yellow beer, good white head. A very faint hint of caramel and citrus in the aroma but not much. Flavour has the same, with a bit of tartness as well. It mellows out into almost nothing after that, just a lingering hint of caramel amongst an otherwise watery finish. It’s fine. It’s crisp and refreshing.
