A Scottish stout with a wonderful rich dark colour. A smooth full bodied beer with subtle bitterness giving way to late sweetness and underlying roast barley hints.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Dark brown to black color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, lightly roast, lightly liquorice, a bit weird. Average to medium carbonation. Don’t like it.

Very dark. Sweet character, little bit of butter, some nuttiness but gotta get that diacetyl out of there.

Cask @ Master Mariner, New Brighton. Very dark with a creamy off-white head. Lovely and smooth in texture with assorted aromas including a light roast, it has a milky aftertaste.
