Bottle from Hop Shop Aberdeen. It pours hazy copper with a frothy off-white cap. The aroma is sticky, oily, resinous, peach, orange marmalade sandwiches, Irn Bru, sweetness and baked goods. The taste is dry, bitter, resinous, rawness, pine, sticky, oily, tangy marmalade, earth, varnished wood, boozy hit, leather, dried leaves and spice with a longer bitter, woody finish. Medium to fullish body and moderate, yet tight carbonation. Sits a bit heavy perhaps. An old skool style British strong IPA. Not bad.
