Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#8. Hotel room beer. Hopped with a strength, somewhat dryish-bland for it, but not without flavour. A sweetness develops in its aftertaste complimenting the body found in this brew. Darker clear golden coloured.

Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#7. Hotel room beer after check-in. Has a very traditional taste, smooth & sweetish, mild dark malty, and similar in aroma. Pleasant bottle conditioning.

Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#4. Second crafted beer in a Paisley travel day diversion, in the beautiful 1901 Bull Inn. Clear, slightly deeper golden appearance. Hoppy, easy, golden ale styling, which comes across very ordinary in this aspect, it has some flavour though.

Bottle form Lidl Blackburn, Aberdeen. It pours clear deep brown with a lasting white head. The aroma is earthy, toasty malts, cacao nibs, malt loaf, sticky, molasses, toasted fruit cake, wood, ryvita and some nuttiness. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet, coffee grounds, cacao nibs, malt loaf, brown bread, ryvita, earthy, leather, toasted nut and a touch of meatiness with a drying, toasty finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Decent malt driven ale. Lacks a bit of wow perhaps, but it's robust.

500ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Good looking in the glass white its deep copper coloured body, steady off-white head, and spotty lacing. Inviting dark caramel aromas, mid-sweet. Caramel malt driven taste added by hints of bread and dark fruits. Lightly roasted malty finish, semi sweet. Fine bodied. Pretty nice on a Saturday eve. (Tromsø, 17.01.2026).
