Flaska från SB. Klar mahognyfärgad vätska med lågt skum. Rejäl kropp med rostade nötter, sött fruktbröd, kryddiga söta röda äpplen, mörk karamell. Söt smakbild men en kryddig beska balanserar bra. Mycket smak för sin 5,2 abv. Maltprofilen imponerar. Välbryggd och mycket god

500ml bottle from Tesco in Irvine - Hazy amber, no head. Lots of fruit in this one, big tangy old fashioned marmalade, some herbs, big and syrupy. Really enjoyed this one.

Draft at Cask& Barrel. Pretty unmemorable. Coppery with a bit sweetness but otherwise unspectacular.

Mörkbrun vätska med finbubbligt kaffegräddefärgat skumlock. Arom av kavring, nötter och lite våt säd. Fin maltighet med en lätt gräskbuskig beska.
Något tunn i kroppen men med en god eftersmak.
