Bottle at the brewery. It pours clear amber with a thick white head. The nose is wood, leather, grain and light spice. The taste is wood, leather, earth, light bitterness and spice with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A pretty reasonable and drinkable bitter by all accounts.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Cloudy orange. fruity nose with peach, plastic and chalk. Sweetish with light body. Like most Islay ales it is predominantly chalky - here with an addition of plastic and rubber. Peachy hops before a finish with some chemical bitterness. Quite unpleasant.

Hazy dark orange colour, large foamy off-white head. Nose is lots of yeast, spices, citrus, orange, wood. Flavour is light malted, yeasty, spicy, oranges. Medium carbonated. Quite odd, more like a Belgian ale, but well done nonetheless.

Bright amber. Chewy, caramel nose with some hop resin. A bit fizzy from the bottle, but mixing nice caramel, subtle fruitiness and a resiny hop bitterness.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Hazy copper thin off white head. It’s a bitter, decent malty fruits, some bitter hops on finish. You know, a bitter.
