(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear dark golden with a small, off-white head. Sort of fat, unclean aroma. Medium body with malty yet rather dry notes. Has a very special and not too pleasant gasoline tang that really takes some getting used to. 040906

2005 bottle at the Mondial, 6/4/05. Aroma of musty hay, honey and sweaty feet/gym shoes. Also a subtle boysenberry/blackberry note in there. Copper-red color, clear and filtered with a beige head, some retention and no lacing. Flavor of peppery spices, toasted grains, dry papery feel to it. Light caramel with touches of house yeast. Medium-light body. I’m betting something went wrong here between Scotland and Montreal.

Sample at the Mondiale 2005: Poured a medium brown color ale with medium head with limited retention. Aroma is quite sweet with some spicy notes and some nice malt. Taste is sweeter the expected with some honey. Body is average and carbonation is low. Average Scottish ale.
