Dark orange-gold; small white rim. Walnuts, cognac, old Bourbon casks, sweet almondcake aroma’s. Dried apricots, overripe fruit, sweet but nowhere cloying, extremely complex taste, with whisky barrels, peppery & sweet in the finish, even Szechuan pepper. Warming up, dark raisins, very " ’t Anker"-like. Very alcoholic, and very slick: obviously really quite thick, but feeling thinner. Excellent, superbly complex, and yet well-balanced beer. One of the best Scottish ever had. BIG thanks to Craig for this gem!

Golden with a white head. Big perfumed aroma, somewhat tripel-like, with some fruit. Sweet and boring flavour.
