Bottle fromWaitrose in Glasgow. Nose is oranges, herbal hops, toasty malt, light caramel, grains. Also some yeasty esters. Rich malt flavor, toast, nuts, toasted malt, light caramel, not very sweet. Rather complex and very malt though not sweet. Well attenuated, finishing dry and hoppy. Spicy, bitter hops in the finish. Does it stand the test of time? Well, I think it is a good example of a Scottish bitter. I can't say how different this one is to those that MJ drank 25-30 years ago. Probably wouldn't be on many best 500 lists today, but still worth checking out.

0,5 bottle. I'm a little wary of the "white bottle", they don't fill "normal" beer in it... The label isn't very pretty, but it's not ugly either, Scottish. The beer has a small, but persistent head next to the bottle, the color is nice and dark, leaning towards black. Aroma: classic earth, coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, dryness. Not bad, but not too intense either. The stout oiliness comes out, dry sipping sensation, bitter, roasted malt. This is a pub stout, drinkable, but for me it's too dry, and a bit boring.

Picit tartok a "fehér üvegtől", "normális" sört nem töltenek ilyenbe... A címke nem túl szép, de nem is csúnya, Skót. A sörön pici, de üveg mellett tartós hab, színe szép sötét, feketébe hajló. Aroma: klasszikus föld, kávé, csoki, pörkölt maláta, szárazság. Nem rossz, de nem is túl intenzív. A stout-os olajosság előjön, száraz kortyérzet, keserű, prökölt malátás. Olyan kocsmai stout ez, azért iható, de nekem ez túl száraz, és kicsit unalmas is.
