375 ml bottle from Brewers Haven. Murky amber pour, persistent fluffy off-white foamy head. Tart aroma, oud bruin. Taste brings more tartness, but still some of the malty scotch ale detectable. Despite the label of Scotch ale, it really comes across as a sour, fruity, tart.

Bottle from Lupe Pintos. Hazy amber body with a thick beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of earth, cranberry, bitter lemon and funky yeast. Flavour of sea salt, bitter lemon and cherry. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Very fizzy. Itβs quite tart and sharper than I expected but itβs an interesting, complex beer.

Hazy red beer, off white head. Funky, fruity aroma. Flavour follows suit, with tartness and fruit, a little malt and spice too.

Just fab! My first thought was "this isn't a scotch ale" but apparently scotch ales were historically more balsamic and this is right in there, like a Scottish oud Bruin. Really nice, full of balanced flavors. The dark one.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Appearance - brown with orange chinks and a beige head. Nose - oak, toffee, caramel. Taste - decidedly tangy, sour and yeasty. Perhaps some cherry and sour toffee thing. Palate - medium bodied, tangy, funky, sour and woody with a persistent finish. Overall - this is actually a Flemish brown in style. And this was the intention. Good, once you've realised it.
