Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured, big stable rocky off-white head, sticking to the glass; deep and solid sweet fruity (dried fruits) and caramelly nose with hoppy and alcoholic spots; solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; increasing hoppiness in the drier fruity-malty finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste. Great, well balanced stuff.......

Dark amber brown liquid decent lacing. The nose is sweet and a tad simple. It’s good, but it’s a fairly plain caramelized malt scent. The flavor is really nice. I’m not a big fan of Scottish ales, but this is an enjoyable beer. It’s not too sweet but still strong and rich. The flavor reminds of a doppelbock, which I mean as a compliment. The feel is smooth and fairly creamy with only prickling on the back of the tongue.

Bottle:Golden, a bit unclear, no carbonation visible; moderate fruity and lemony-hoppy nose, juicy malt underneath; pretty light bodied, moderate dry bitter-sweet flavour; lingering dry lemony-bitter finish. Not bad........
