Not as bad as people make it out to be here! Aroma and Flavours are restrained but the beer is nicely bitter and has an interesting nutty and caramel note. A little peaty note. I don?t agree with the bad ratings.

500ml bottle from Scottish Real Ale Shop, Kilmahog. Pours clear amber, thin foamy off-white head. Aroma is sourish leafy malts. Taste is lightly sour, lightly metallic, lightly leathery, finishing dry. Not great.

Bottle at the Jurancon Hotel in Craighouse. Appearance - deep brown with a lovely fluffy head. Nose - sweet malt, light toffee and nuts. Taste - like cereal saturated in milk. More of the light toffee note. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - I’d say this was more in the Scottish Ale style than Bitter. Solid enough.

500ml bottle obtained from the Scottish Aldi beer festival shelves along with around 30 other random bottles: opened on 24th Oct 2014. Amber body with a white head. The nose was a mixed bag of citrus notes, caramel sweetness and floral traces. The taste a pleasant blend, with the aforementioned aromas coming together in the flavours also. Mild hop bitterness in the finish.
