A traditional 80/- made with East Lothian barley. There is a lot to be said for a classic style done well, and Drovers embodies this.

Bottle from Deeside Drink Emporium, Banchory. It pours cloudy dark amber, with a thick white head. The nose is brown bread, toasted malt, plastic, tires and wood. The taste is caramel, sweet malt, toast, nut, powdery, plastic, burnt tire and some toffee, with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Ok, but not great.

Bottle. A clear, dark amber body with a small, white head. Weak nose with some toasted malts and a fruity hint. Rather weak flavor too, roasted and toffee-ish, slighlty licorice like and bitter. Medium body. Short, roasted finish with some bitterness. A boring one, even for a British bitter. 110819
