A mountain of a beer, this is a chestnut red, malty, full-bodied beast with a lightly hopped aftertaste.

Bottle at YNWA. Pours dark brown with a small white head. Dark roasted and breadish aroma. Roasted breadish, light caramelish and rather dry base flavoured. Smooth roasted and beadish flavoured finish. Nice one.

500ml bottle. Amber with a dense off-white head; sour fruity aroma; rather thin with creamy toffee malt flavours and a dry and smoky finish. Rather basic but drinkable.

On gravity at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 13/9/08. Reddish amber with a decent off-white head. Caramel and red fruit aroma with some earthy hops. Flavour was sweet with plenty of malt and a decent bitter finish. Good.

500ml bottle at 78, Glasgow. Deep russet colour with thin beige head. It’s been filtered and pasteurised, so pretty empty in mouth, some decet malt, bit of brown sugar, some raisin and red berry, bit of dry chocolate. Fine.

Malt and green apple aroma. The flavour has some of the same characteristics, with a good bitterness. Rather one-dimensional.

[At Jyske Øldage 2004, Kolding] A hazy amber beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is of caramel and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, wood, and berries.

Red-amber. Smokey and very roasty nose. Sweet and malty, clean with salty finish. A medium bodied ale with very Scottish feeling.
