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.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very unclear amber golden with a small, off-white head. Aromas of overripe fruit. Medium body with a very low carbonation. Flavours also of overripe fruit, wood noble rot and a sherry like edge. Some hops in the finish. Very British and very fascinating. 251106

Bottle (Wee Beast). Butterscotch/toffee, grass, and alcohol aroma. Clear reddish brown with moderate head. Sweet buttery toffee flavor with a fairly strong alcohol and hops finish.

Bottled (label has the beauty and the beast now) (BB 01/2006)
Hazy light amber-orange, good off-white, lace. Strong flowery hoppy aroma with orange and honey. Tar in the start - then good strong bitter hops with honey flavors and long bitter aftertaste. Alcohol really builds this ale up. Excellent brew from the small island.
I would put this to "A Scottish Ale" -style more thanto "A Scotch Ale".

A red brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with some weird notes of hops. The flavor is malty with notes of berries and roasted bread before a dry hoppy end sets in. A fine tasting beer.

Amber color. Interesting malt profile, between a Barley Wine and an IPA, with a long palate.

Bottled. Dark orange and hazy. Big toffee aroma. Really full bodied. Lovely maltiness and filling mouthfeel. Balanced sweetness and loads of chocolate flavour - the finish as all chocolate. Low bitterness. A truly outstanding Scottish ale!

Dark amber, hazy. Strong malt character. A little caramel note. Arguably more of an English Strong that a Scotch Ale, but I doubt I''d try to argue that point on the Isle of Skye.
