Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear brown with an orange hue and a dense and creamy off-white head that leaves some lacework. Nose is subtle, perhaps a little nuts and alcohol. Surprisingly light in body considering the alcohol, very smooth and soft on the palate. If you expected a sticky sweet beer you'd be surprised as this is heavily attenuated with hardly any residual sweetness but a very solid bitterness. No smoke. Personally I like malty sweetness in Scotch Ales, so I'm missing out a bit. Others may find the dryness and the bitterness relieving.
