A Scottish Brown Ale created with our pals at Croft 3 on Mull. Subtle smoke from the peated malt weaves among aromas of toffee pennies, apple crumble and bramble jam. The flavour is deep and sweet, punctuated by light, citric acidity with a clean fermentation profile to keep everything crisp, well defined and refreshing. Moderate bitterness and a lingering peated malt finish cries out for a second helping of Croft 3’s haggis, and maybe a dram too.

Can from Lupe Pintos. Hazy brown body with a thin beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, campfire and smoked cheese. Flavour of fig, caramel and smoked malt. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Rich and sweeter than I was expecting. This is tasty and unusual.
