Hazy amber ale. Thick bubbly white head. Smells dry and hoppy as you may expect, perhaps a little rye. Flsvour some citrus, dry hop, grass. Not loads else to be honest, but it's very drinkable.

Bottle from Caledonian Craft Beer Merchant, Dunfermline. It pours clear mahogany brown with a sturdy light tan head. The aroma is hearty maltage, bruised banana, banana bread, cacao nibs, booze stewed raisin, fruit cake, brown bread, caramel and a splash of cola. The taste is smooth, slick, bitter - sweet, hearty maltage, over ripe banana, banana bread, dried fruits, fruit cake, toffee, toasty brown bread, warming spice, clove, cacao nibs, chocolate covered bananas and just a touch of alcohol to balance things out. Medium+ body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Can't say there are too many Scottish doppelbocks out there, but abernyte have really smashed it out of the park here.
