[50cl bottle from the Co-op, Bearsden.] A dark chestnut brown pour with a ring of white head; fruity malt aroma with a little spice; sweet malty taste with some raisins and dates to finish. An old-school heavy.

[50cl bottle from the Co-Op, Bearsden.] A bright amber pour with a thin white head; fruity aroma with some apricot; sweet apricot taste with a sharp woody bitterness, then rather jammy so perhaps over pasteurised; then some pine spice and bitter marmalade to finish.

Cask at PoW, Aberdeen. It pours clear brown with a small beige head. The aroma is malt loaf, toffee, dried fruits, toasty brown bread and some nuttiness. The taste is dry, nutty, woody, bitter - sweet, toffee, dried fruits, raisin, sultana and smart price cola with a drying finale. Light body and light carbonation. Lacks a bit of condition tbh. Decent flavour for the low abv nonetheless. Not bad.
