Cask at the Goat and Tricycle, Bournemouth. Retired? Clearly not. A clear reddish brown pour with a white frothy head. A rather spicy aroma which leads to a very refreshing spicy malty taste. The spiciness sticks around for a while too. Quite an unusual ale and I'd love to know the hops they use! A really great beer suitable for any time of the year. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Drank from tap at Jan Primus: Cloudy brown color, very short dying head. Aroma of malts, raisins, prune. Flavor of chocolate malts and some roasted malts. Palate is quite dry and only slightly bitter. I was quite surprised by this piece of scottish craftmanship.

Amber coloured. Sweet and mild, medium bodied, softly malty. Not very complex.
