Draft, pint. @Dornie Hotel, Dornie (Scotland). 04/08/2023 [#6.672 Global - #210 Scotland - #2 Applecross Brewery] Pours dark brown with a small head. Aroma: lot of burnt caramel, toffee and dried fruits. Taste: caramelly malts, blackberries and molasses. Didn´t expected blackberries. Dry and mild ashy finish. Very nice indeed. Next one please!

Bottle from Aultbea shop. Appearance - deep amber and clear. Creamy off white head. Nose - tart red fruit, probably redcurrant or cranberry. Bready too. Taste - tart red fruit again and herbaceous. Brown bread at the back. Palate - light to medium bodied, dry and bitter finish. Overall - OK. A bit unusual.
