Keg, can and bottle. Dark brown body with a beige head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of blackcurrant, treacle, blueberry and meaty malts. Flavour of Black Jack sweets, Marmite, chocolate, flat Coca-Cola and plum. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. A rich, complex black IPA - one of the best I’ve tasted. Cromarty are such an excellent, underrated brewery.

Can picked up at their market stall at Ellon Castle winter market. It pours rich russet - brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is toasty grains, cereal, nutty, brown bread, ryvita, dull caramel, cola and some dried fruits. The taste is crisp, dry, light bitterness, toasty, nutty, slightly charred edge, roasty malts, brown bread, earth, ryvita, caramel, cola and a touch of dried fruits. Finish is dry and toasty. Light body (but not thin) and moderate, foamy carbonation. Nice take on a classic, but now rare style. Enjoyable.

Bottle from Against The Grain. Hazy brown body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of strawberry syrup, oak and caramel. Flavour of plum, strawberry and a subtle hint of bourbon. Medium body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A sweet and well rounded imperial red ale (or barley wine?) Loved this.
