A typically Scottish ale, dark with a roasted malt flavour balanced with a slight bitterness and a mild hop aroma. A brilliant accompaniment with hearty food, this is a great winter warmer.

Hazy medium to dark brown colour, big foamy beige head, sizzles down gradually to a thick layer, fair lacing. Aroma sweet malty, toasted, hazelnuts, caramel, chocolate, dark fruit notes. Taste slightly smoked, medium sweetbitter, nutty, some caramel, some chocolate. Medium body, oily to light watery texture, average carbonation, mild bittersweet aftertaste, bit spicy, chocolate, overall a nice tasty beer.

50cl bottle from the Bottle Bank. Appearance - dark brown to opaque black but seems a little undercarbonated. This resulted in a thin quickly disappearing head. Nose - loads of hazelnuts and gentle toffee. Taste - there’s a slight sourness to the taste and then there’s the intertwined nuts and toffee (praline) note. It’s almost like a tart red fruit at the start. Palate - close to medium bodied with this tart middle section that then goes sweet and finishes up fairly dry. Overall - not sure the tart red fruits were part of the plan. OK though.

500ml bottle. Clear, ruby red glowing, chestnut colour with small to average, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Minimally roasty, dark malty aroma, hints of red berries and their parings. Taste is minimally sweet dark malty with a touch of caramel, fruity hints of red berries, a mildly dry, nuttily touch as well; smooth, soft, silk palate. Admirable virtuosic artisanry.

500ml bottle @ the 5th Shrewsbury Bottle share May 14, courtesy of myself. Nice warming toffee malt aroma, continuing to the taste with a strange distant sourish tang and some subtle wine notes. Didn’t mind this one.

500ml Bottle conditioned on 19th May 2014 at a Shrewsbury Bottle Swap, cheers Mat. Malt lead to the nose of this fairly dark brew, lively pour with a good head. The maltiness in the mouth gives way to a dry, bitter finish which I didn’t really take too. I prefered the old 80 Shilling beers I used to drink up in Morayshire in the 1980’s to be honest, they were creamier and tastier, this lacked true body depth.

Bottle whilst on hols in St Ives. Opaque dark brown beer with a tidy pale tan head. Palate is crisp and dry. Sharp minerals. Tangy, almost sour, dark fruits. Whisper of coffee. Dry finish. Tangy aftertaste. A little odd.

Bottled. Dark chestnut in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, berry fruits and a hint of chocolate powder. Flavour had robust malts, a hint of caramel and some tart plum fruit, before a gentle finish. Very enjoyable.
