A traditional Scottish ale brewed with an emphasis on the malt characteristics. Lightly hopped, as is true to this style of beer, with fruity malt aromas and a toffeeish mouth feel.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown colour, foamy off-white head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, nutty, yeast. Taste is sweetish malty, earthy, fruity, yeast, with light spice and some bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry slightly tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle from Morrisons. Clear brown body with a thick beige head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of nuts, copper and brown bread. Flavour of lightly roasted malt, caramel, herbal hints and elderflower. Thin body with a slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. A delicate, malty ale. Reminds me a little of Cairngorm’s Trade Winds.
