This tipple features a hearty blend of toffee, chocolate and biscuit flavours, all thanks to some carefully chosen British malts. We brew this beer as a homage to our family’s favourite tractor: the original Old Fergie.

Bottle from Vine and Grain. Appearance - deep brown to black with red chinks. Nose - Highland Toffee and leather. Taste - creamy, buttery toffee. Palate - more of the toffee, very rich. No hazelnuts which I'd expect. Overall - quite enjoyable.
