Olfactif aux accents caramélisés avec esters de cerises, un léger fumé et de subtiles notes florales. De couleur brune aux reflets roux, elle se couvre d’une mousse abondante et persistante. L’entrée de bouche comporte une bonne effervescence d’où s’étale une base plutôt fumée mais douce. Le caramel y est en sourdine, les esters discrets et les houblons plus floraux et épicés que terreux. La finale est rehaussée de fumé sans que l’amertume ne le dépasse. Malgré son manque de saveurs dominantes et sa complexité déficiente, elle demeure quand même agréable à boire. O:6.92 V:4.49 G:6.70 C:1.95 G:13.36 T:33.42

Bottle: Poured a murky brown color ale with a large light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with some dry toffee notes and light peat. Taste is also a mix between some caramelized malt with some light toffee and a dry finish with faint notes of peat. Body is pretty full with excellent carbonation. Well brewed scotch ale with great balance.

Bottle at the Wee Puffin, Grantown on Spey. Light clean aroma, little to speak off. Looks like Coke but has a good lasting foam. Fine taste with soft whisky ending.
