330ml bottle a present from my Aberdeen friend. Nose is sweet caramel, nutty almonds, and a hint of bubblegum. Copper brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is lightly bitter, nutty, and a hint of sweet caramel malt. If I lived in Scotland and this was available it would probably be a favorite session beer.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Amber with a thin white head; biscuity aroma; thin, sweet, and grainy in the mouth; then a dry finish. No trace of the peat that others have detected. Rather boring and basic.
