A mahogany ale with a distinctive hop character, balanced by a soft malt finish."Stag" describes a male deer, although it can often be referred to as the "Monarch of the Glen" for its majestic stature matching the character of this superb beer.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear amber to brown colour with small consistent beige top. Aroma of brown bread, caramel, raisin. Taste of caramel, toasted malt, hint of chocolate, mixed dried fruit and a bitter nutty finish. I really like this, has a session quality but still has some complexity to it. An excellent bitter.

October 2020: 500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.1%. Beautiful mahogany colour, large to moderate off-white head. Malty aroma, notes of caramel, brown bread and roasted nuts. Malty flavour too, with the same elements as the aroma, but not too sweet. Decent earthy hops in the finish.

Malt and caramel aroma, with some dark fruits. Taste is similar with a good amount of caramelised malt, a bit roasted, bitterness, with dark fruits and nuts taste. Sweet but dry finish.

Thanks Simon. Fantastic malty caramel. Very dry bitter with a great mild roasted back. Dry bitter Ale with great caramelly roasted complex full body, fantastic balanced with a slightly hazelnut-sweetish back. Great stuff! Dry caramelly bitter in the end.

Bottle at home. Has a clear mahogany colour with a beige head. Aroma of heather, bread, fudge, nuts and game meat. Flavour of grass, fudge, nuts and bread crust. Has a slick mouth feel, light body and a light to medium bitterness. Malty and decent.

Brown with a creamy, off-white head that lingers. Aroma of roasted grains, tobacco, dark chocolate. Pleasant. Taste dominated by a steady, toasted bitterness. Bittersweet at the end with a caramel note. Body to the light side of medium, moderate carbonation. Good.
