Can from Drinkmonger. Deep golden body with a light haze and an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of biscuit and brown bread. Flavour of cantaloupe and caramel with a slightly astringent finish. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It looks a bit lighter than I expected but it has a nice brown bread quality.

Can picked up at Drinkmonger, Pitlochry. It pours lightly hazy golden - orangey with a decent, frothy white head. The aroma is sweet, sappy, resin, green, herbal, spearmint, bready, sponge cake, biscuit and a touch of tropical fruits. The taste is dry, bitter, pine needles, resinous, green, weedy, herbal, slightly chalky/powdery, tropical fruits, guava, papaya, pithy citrus, tannin and spice with a drying finish. Medium body and fine to moderate carbonation. An unusual combo of flavours. Ok, but not sure it all quite hangs together.

Can from Drinkmonger, Pitlochry. It pours darkest brown with a quickly dissipating khaki head. The aroma is rather interesting... fragrant, green, winter forest, deep chocolate character, cookie dough, rick roasted, vanilla, coconut, marshmallow, raspberry jam, tunnocks teacakes, coffee and a good depth of whisky. The taste is rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, juicy, tangy, rather jammy, plenty of berry, toasty, warming, whisky soaked oak, chocolate cake, tunnocks teacake, touch green, grassy, herbal, sappy, woody, coffee, cacao nibs and just a subdued level of alcohol to keep it in check. Toasty finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Interesting, quaffable and great depth of flavour. Fun stuff.
