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.

Clear amber beer, thin bubbly head. Smell is dry, bitter malt and not a hell of a lot else. Flavour is bitter malt, some hop, a bit of fruit, caramel. There's not a hell of a lot to it but as this sort of archetypal bitter go it's got a reasonably clear flavour, nothing unpleasant lurking in the backtaste and low enough strength that you could enjoy a few without any bother.

Bottle at home in London - thanks to a colleague for gifting me this one! Pours a rather fetching clear russet with a creamy, light tan foam head. Rich malty aroma, with perhaps hints of oxidation, some ripe fruits, berries, suggestions of caramel. Light to medium sweet flavor, with well toasted malts, grainy bread, bitter earth and leaves, impressions of cocoa, some leathery berries. Light bodied with average carbonation. Reasonably well balanced on the finish, with more toasted grains and leaves, dried fruits, berries. A very decent bitter.

Bottle at Inverness airport. It pours clear deep brown with a thick beige head. The nose is earthy, wood, brown bread, cereal and light toffee/fudge. The taste is bitter-sweet, brown bread, toffee, Scottish tablet, wood, leather, light spice and earth with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate. Solid malty action.
