Our modern interpretation of this beer uses four different malts (Pale Ale, Crystal, Chocolate and Roast Barley).
Hops are added in small quantities in two stages to ensure that the malt character typical of Scottish ales is not overwhelmed.

Cask @ JDW Counting House. Clear, dark red with a thin off white head. Taste is malty, dried fruit sweetness with some bitterness in the finish. A little thin, perhaps, but otherwise a good beer

Cask @ Cross Keys, Leeds. Clear brown with a small, slightly off-white creamy head. Bitter with an underlying graininess that gives it a good edge. Not too bitter at all.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 5/3/2015. Copper coloured, with a decent, off-white, head. A malty beer, with caramel sweetness, a touch of hedgerow fruit and gentle finish. Fine.

Cask at The Golf Tavern. Clear mahogany body with a thin off-white head. Light lacing. Aroma of toffee, earth and wood. Flavour of builder’s tea, toffee, sweet malt and treacle. Medium body with a flat, oily texture. Sweet and a little cloying.

Tap at Guildford Arms. Mild nose of earth and bread. Tastes of pumpernickel, dried fruits, malt, earth, and brown paper lunch bag. All subdued with simple finish. Basic but fine

Cask at Guildford Arms. It pours deep brown with a decent beige head. The nose is brown bread, wood, dried fruits, boiled sweets and toffee. The taste is bitter, toasty grain, brown bread, earth, light toffee, candy and dirt with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fairly basic, but drinkable enough.

Clear deep amber beer, residual pale tan head. Palate is light and a little crispy. Light dry malts, whisper of toffee, touches of cream and paper. Whisper of dried fruits. Light dry finish. Pretty dull.

330ml bottle Appellation Wines. Pours clear chestnut brown, no head. Aromas are dark sugar, roasted nuts, light smoke. Taste has a dark chocolate sweetness, more sugar, and light herbal bitterness. would like to try on cask, but a bit disappointing bottled.
