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.

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.

Bottled (from AbM, old backlog). Hazy amber colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is mild wood, fruits, sulphur, some metal and mild leathery notes. Flavour is fruity, wooden, sulphur, mild leather and some light bitterness. Quite much like Saligo, but a bit darker in colour.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of smoke, malt, and spicy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of brettanomyces, wood, and straw, leading to a tart finish.

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.
