Made with live yeast, this is our strongest ale. But it’s also beguilingly sweet, fruity and smooth. Our promise: you’ll live to tell of your encounter with the beast.

Clear brown colour with thin head. Strangely plain and simple. Seems like a sweetish Bitter. Thinnish and quite lacking in depth, body and complexity. It's just ok.

330ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Clear reddish gold with no head. Aroma of figs and dates, a little bit of TCP. Tastes sweet with a light boozy burn, with a bit of a vegetal character to the finish. Medium to heavy carbonation. A bit odd but decent overall and a favourite style of mine.

330ml bottle from the brewery. Poured a clear light amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light toffee treacle, light gluey, yeasty, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, woody floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Aus der Flasche im 2018-07 getrunken. Dieses rötlichebraune Ale hat eine malzige, karamellartige Grundnote mit leichte Frucht- und deutlichem Hopfenaroma. Alles recht harmonisch nur der Alkohol nicht ist nicht ganz perfekt eingebunden. Dennoch recht lecker!

Bottle at Gordon Highlander, Inverurie. Surprised I haven’t rated this until now! It pours hazy orange - amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is rich, malt-driven, earthy, wood, leather, cereal, toasty grain and brown bread. The taste is dry, bitter, wood, leather, dried berry, earthy, bit of spice, wood polish, dull caramel, tannin with a drying finish. Medium+ body, fine carbonation and chewy mouth-feel. Lacks the depth I would look for in this style. Enjoyable enough anyhow.

Bottle thanks to Phil. Pours a clear orange with small white head that lasts. The aroma is fruity malt and toffee. Medium body, similar flavors to nose, metallic finish, decent.

330ml bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, June 16, courtesy of purpledragons. Many thanks. Pours amber, off-white head. Aroma is light caramel. Taste has light swirling caramel, smooth malts.. nicely balanced but essentially quite a toned down, easy-going scotch ale.
