A red beer with a fine head. Both the nose and the flavor is sweet and malty - a very nice beer.

Rich smoky aroma. Sweet caramel malt and BBQed meats in the nose as well. Something else is in there too, something sweet, like maybe chocolate-covered cherries. Dark red-brown, large creamy stiff head. Good retention. Rich dark malt flavor, light smokiness, earthy hops under all of it. A little chocolate. Extra smooth. Nice balance. Thick sheets of lace.

The beer has a slightly sour aroma, and its flavour is a mixture of sultanas and malt. A more subtle scottish ale compared to the majority of beers brewed in the country. Overall very palatable.

Sampled cask conditioned. Dark. Full bodied and buttery with low bitterness. I'm no real fan of the Broughton's.
