Cab thanks to Roddy. Appearance - deep amber with an edge of red. Thin white head. Nose - raspberry, wholemeal bread. Dried orange. Taste - red cherry, caramel, toffee and light roast. Palate - medium bodied, chewy and rich middle. The finish has some bitterness but still kinda sweet and rich. Overall - not an IPA of any kind. This is a strong ale, and it's good at that.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle from Lid, Inverurie. It pours clear deep red - brown with a frothy off - white head. The aroma is nutty, mellow smokey embers, bonfire, pipe tobacco, brown bread, malt loaf, dried fruits, fruit cake and toffee. The taste is dry, toasty grain, bitter - sweet, brown bread, malt loaf, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, berry, fruit cake, butterscotch toffee, cola, hint of smoke, earthy and oak bonfire with a toasty, warming finish. Medium+ body and fine, prickly carbonation. Quite interesting stuff. Nice depth and balance. This delivers a lot, especially at the Lidl price point.
