Crowler from BD Inverurie. It pours lightly hazy deep red with a medium fluffy beige head. The aroma is rich, warming spice, clove, peppery, candy cane, blood orange, marmalade and some banana bread. The taste is bitter - sweet, col cubes, warming spice, clove rock, very ripe banana, banana bread, dried fruits, fruit cake, brown bread, marmalade sandwiches, toffee and some booze with a warming finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Hearty and robust. Fun stuff. Nice example of the style.
