This is the big, hearty ’red wine’ of our range. Nine malts are blended to produce layers of caramel, coffee, liquorice, chocolate and roasty flavours and these are balanced by a tart, raisiny fruitiness that gradually gives way to a lingering dry finish. Rich, full bodied. warming and moreish. Stonecutter pairs well with venison, roast beef or lamb, or the heartiest casseroles and stews. For dessert try with a creme brulee or, of course, Scottish shortbread.

Fra flaske på Mi2, Cardinal (Asko Rogaland ølmesse): rødlig rav med ok skum. Bæraroma og smag med lav bitterhed og myk balance. Saftig.

Bottle shared at the 2015 edition of the chriso Pre-GBBF tasting - London. Cheers! Pours clear ruby with a foamy, off-white head. RIch malty aroma, with notes of toffee and ripening fruits. Medium sweet flavour with bitter grains, some oily pine, bread. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Sugary on the finish, with more toasted bread, sweet dried fruits. OK stuff on the whole.

500 ml bottle into tulip. Ruby red beer with fluffy off-white head. Smells of caramel malt toffees. Quite light in the mouth, flavour follows the nose. Caramel malt, finish is dark dried fruit. Alcohol is noticeable late on. Very good. I’m about to drink it with a beef casserole so.......cheers!

Bottle from Yamaya. Hazy dark brown with lace. rich malt nose, chocolate, caramel, bit of smoke. Nice malt flavor, raisins, dried fruit and chocolate fudge. Chewy, rich, malt, yet rathe light on the palate with a bit of tart fruit. Not cloying.

Keg at CP&K, 24/04/15. Rich chestnut brown with a well appointed beige cap that retains well. Nose is light smoke, biscuit, toffee, dark fruit rinds, light treacle, earthy vibes. Taste comprises lightly smoked malt, trace of cocoa powder, sweet’n’sour notes, toffee, biscuit, light wood. Medium bodied, fine carbonaton, light bitterness in the close. Decent stuff, good balance, one of the best I’ve had from this style.
