Bottle from Lidl. Clear amber/brown body with a beige head. Fine carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of dumpling and Dr Pepper. Flavour of toffee and roasted malt. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. This tastes like something between a dunkel and a dubbel. It’s a very tasty beer.

Bottle @ home. Clear brownish amber body under a small, fast disappearing tan head. Aroma of malt, bead and dry fruit. Taste is sweet caramel malt, some bread, hint of toast, some dry fruit and moderate bitterness. Balanced body with a sweet, malt based aftertaste. Not particular complex, but solid and well made, classic Scottish ale. Rather easy drinkable actually.
