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.

Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with stable creamy beige head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit. Pleasant, refreshing mouthfeel. Creamy, malty flavour enriched by a hoppy note towards the end. Dryish aftertaste. A nice one.

Znakomite szkockie ale. Goryczkowe i jeszcze raz goryczkowe. Finisz goryczkowy, wyczuwalny w smaku palony słód, choć w zapachu już nie jest aż tak intensywny. Świetne i pijalne piwo, nie męczy. Można się zadumać nad tradycyjnym ale.

50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 30.04.2010
Aroma has caramel, toffee, some fruity notes and hints of hay. Flavour is somewhat sweet with toffee, caramel, malty notes, some burned sugar and distant fruity notes. A bit thin palate. Less sweet and better than I expected.

A lighter beer than I was expecting for it’s colour, the aroma and taste are both fairly mild, although the taste does linger. Head reduces to a filmy froth on top. I don’t find that it tastes of enough to think I’d want to drink much of it in one sitting but nor is it strong enough that it’d be nice to have a couple slowly. Pleasant enough but not particularly notable.
